Ironically, diabetes is "famine in the midst of feast."In essence, diabetes is a defect in converting blood sugar into energy. The defect in type 1 diabetesis due to a failure of insulin production by the pancreas, the endocrine gland that is also the source of digestive enzymes. In Type 2 diabetes, the defect is due to an abnormal response to insulin, in which the cells of the body are unable to take up the glucose they need for basic metabolic functions. This causes high levels of blood sugar that cannot be used effectively. In both types, impaired glucose uptake occurs, although the mechanisms are different.In this article, we'll look at some less appreciated antecedent or causal factors in diabetes, including:Acid-forming diets and other causes of cellular metabolic acidosisDelayed allergies (hypersensitivities) that burden immune and repair systemsGlycemic load as an effective measure of how foods affect blood sugarAcid-Alkaline Balance and DiabetesResearch at the Health Studies Collegium indicates that acid-forming diets have a key role in chronic and autoimmune illness, including diabetes. Over the past two decades, studies from our group have defined our approach to acid-alkaline balance and confirmed great promise through application of the Alkaline Way. The Alkaline Way is a comprehensive program that encompasses what people eat and drink, think and do. While the primary focus in this article is on dietary aspects of the program, this approach also includes stress management and restorative physical activity, meaningful work, healthy relationships, and engagement with the community and environment. We have found that the more stress an individual experiences, the greater the body's immune burden and metabolic acid production.Diet is another major source of metabolic acidity. When the diet provides insufficient minerals to buffer metabolic acids, the alkaline reserves of the cells can be gradually depleted, often over decades.[iii][iv]Buffering-mineral deficits can result in chronic intracellular metabolic acidosis. Excess cell acid shuts down energy production and impairs the ability to safely remove toxins from the cell.Acid-forming diets are those with more than 25 percent of calories from fat and more than 75 grams of total daily protein intake[v]. When fat and protein intake increases above the body's needs, there is a reduction in both dietary fiber and essential nutrients.[vi] This leads to a state of being overfed and undernourished.The Alkaline Way approach to nutrition is designed to neutralize the extra metabolic acids produced in the body daily, by providing adequate levels of minerals and other biochemical buffers. A metabolically alkaline diet is composed of foods that have a buffering effect on cellular chemistry.[vii] This can be different from the food's ash residue chemistry.[viii] For example, citrus fruits are alkalinizing because the process of metabolizing them generates more than twice as much bicarbonate buffer as there is acid in the food.[ix] This means that citrus fruit and similar foods are acidic before consumption, yet alkaline-forming in the body. Our approach includes a health-promoting, nutrient-dense, and fiber-rich diet along with targeted supplementation, based on the needs of the individual.[x] Priority is given to locally vine-ripened, organic, or biodynamic sources of foods. Mineral-rich 'hard' water and herbal beverages made with this water complete the program.Metabolic Acidosis Precedes PrediabetesA recent Japanese study addressed the question of optimal diet. Researchers at the National Institute of Health and Nutrition in Tokyo traced the effects of metabolic acidosis on cardiovascular and metabolic risks.[xi] The study assessed the health of more than 1,000 female Japanese dietetic students 18 to 22 years of age, and found that a high intake of protein and low levels of minerals resulted in metabolic acidosis. The research reported that acid-forming diets were associated with an increase in cardiometabolic risks due to:Elevated blood pressureElevated total cholesterol and LDL cholesterolIncreased body-mass index (BMI) and waist circumferenceThese markers are also among the top five risk factors for prediabetes. This implicates an acid-forming diet as a primary cause of prediabetes. Doctors now track prediabetic insulin resistance with five related criteria: high blood sugar (hyperglycemia), visceral obesity (based on height-to-waist ratio, with a BMI of 30 or above considered obese), elevated triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, and high blood pressure. Each of these criteria is also a risk factor for cancer.[xii]Self-Testing for Alkaline StatusMetabolic acidosis indicates a lack of minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and zinc, which are needed to buffer and safely remove excess acids from the body. As mineral stores are depleted, risk of damage to the kidneys and urinary tract increases.At night, while we sleep, the body routinely concentrates excess acids for excretion.[xiii] This capacity varies based on toxin load and individual ability to produce energy and inactivate and excrete toxins.[xiv] You can track your own acid-alkaline status using special, color-reactive test strips. Using this test to assess the first urine of the morning provides a surprisingly good measure of metabolic acidosis, the body's mineral reserves, and its acid/alkaline state.[xv] Only the first urine after six or more hours of rest is useful in measuring metabolic acidosis risk. At all other times, there are numerous influences on urine pH—including the degree and intensity of mental or physical work, as well as dietary factors—that affect the relevance of the outcome.[xvi]Use only high-sensitivity pH 5.5-8.5 test strips. A value of 7.0 indicates neutrality, neither acid nor alkaline.[xvii] Healthy first morning urine pH should be in the range of 6.5 to 7.5.ix Values below that range are considered acidic, and values above it are alkaline. A neutral or slightly acidic urine pH after rest indicates that the overall cellular pH is appropriately alkaline because the small amounts of metabolic acids have been concentrated for easy excretion.Allergies, Sensitivities, and DiabetesAllergies are potentially another underlying factor in diabetes. Both acute allergies and delayed allergies (hypersensitivities) describe possible immune responses to specific foods, chemicals, or contaminants. For decades, the conventional approach to allergy has focused on immediate allergic reactions, which are triggered by immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies (think E for emergency). These antibodies are a form of "ammunition" that our bodies use when needed to protect us against microbes and allergens.IgE antibody reactions can trigger a harmless case of hives or life-threatening anaphylactic shock. Eight types of food account for over 90 percent of these immediate, intense IgE-mediated allergic reactions—milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat.[xviii] A recent study in the U.S. showed an 18 percent rise in the prevalence of food allergies in children in the decade from 1990 to 2000.[xix] These immune reactions increase the metabolic acids produced in the body.Within integrative medicine, doctors have also focused on the role that delayed hypersensitivities can play in chronic health issues. Typically, these sensitivities are caused by immunoglobulin G (IgG) reactions. Plasma cells are the antibody factories that produce short-term (IgM), long-term (IgG), and mucosal (IgA) antibodies. Long-term antibody memory may be protective and helpful, or reactive and harmful, depending on the individual's state. When we are healthy, our homeostatic, self-rebalancing mechanisms induce beneficial, neutralizing antibodies. When we are distressed, harmful, symptom-provoking antibodies can form. Delayed sensitivities tend to increase the level of repair deficit within the body, resulting in higher levels of inflammation. This contributes to such diverse conditions as joint diseases, eczema, and digestive disorders. Since these reactions are delayed, the symptoms only become apparent hours to weeks after exposure. Consequently, it is difficult (and nearly impossible at times) to identify reactive substances based on history alone.Testing for allergies varies with the type of antibody and the specific allergens that are being targeted. IgE antibodies relate to acute histaminic reactions, while IgG antibodies carry long-term memory of delayed immune reactions. IgG antibody tests measure the presence or absence of antibodies. However, these tests do not distinguish helpful from harmful antibodies. Newer, more predictive tests, such as lymphocyte response assays (LRAs), are recommended because they detect onlyreactive antibodies, which indicate a true burden on the immune system. The LRAs by ELISA/ACT are a breakthrough in functional testing for delayed allergic reactions because they target several different types of immune reactions that cannot be distinguished by standard antibody detection systems—antibodies, immune complexes, and direct T-lymphocyte responses.Delayed Allergies and DiabetesA study by the Health Studies Collegium evaluated the association between diabetes and sensitivities to foods and environmental allergens. When both insulin resistance and hypersensitivity develop, there is a major increase in the burden on the immune defense systems, as well as excess metabolic acid production. To evaluate stress on the immune system, participants were given an LRA by ELISA/ACT[xx] to identify reactivity to more than 400 substances. This testing has a greater than 97 percent reliability and reproducibility in blind split-sample tests.[xxi]The study involved 27 participants with type 1 diabetes and 26 with type 2. In each group, half the patients were randomly selected to receive testing for delayed sensitivities. The controls for each group received no testing, but were provided with conventional diabetes nutritional counseling and asked to avoid a certain number of foods (without any specific knowledge of foods to which they might be reactive).Once participants in the test group received the results of their evaluations for food and chemical causes of sensitivity, they were coached on how to develop a hypoallergenic, repair-stimulating, nutrient-rich diet. The diet was individualized to the needs of each participant. This meant eating a wide variety of whole foods, according to their preference, selected from foods shown to be non-reactive in their test. About 80 percent of the volume of food consumed consisted of alkaline-forming fruits, vegetables, and whole grains (see Figure 1).Figure 1. Food and chemical effects on acid/alkaline body chemical balance [about here]Intervention. For the group receiving antigen testing, support group meetings were held biweekly with qualified nutritionists who provided ongoing guidance to help participants implement their individualized nutrition plans. Supplements included antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and essential cofactors.[xxii] Participants were also counseled on avoiding exposure to unusual or hidden sources of antigens from foods or environmental chemicals to which they were found reactive.Control subjects attended separate support groups in which the nutritionists provided guidance consistent with American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines for controlling sugar consumption. Long-term glycemic control was assessed over the six-month study period in both groups, using a blood test for hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, a primary marker of diabetes.Reactions. In most cases, antigen testing showed more reactivity in type 1 than in type 2 diabetics (see Figure 2). The single most common type of immune reactant was pasteurized cow's milk dairyproducts, which induced hypersensitivity in 69 percent of type 2 and 28 percent of type 1 diabetics. Food additives and environmental chemicals were other major causes of immune burden.

Figure 2. Delayed allergies in individuals with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.(Evaluation by LRA from ELISA/ACT Laboratories at www.BetterLabTestsNow.com)ImprovementType 1 Diabetics11 of 14 type 1 diabetes test subjects reduced their HbA1c levels, thus achieving a level acceptable to the American Diabetes Association.Importantly, 6 of 14 type 1 test subjects had a reduction in HbA1c levels that was greater than 1 mg/dl, while only 3 of 11 control subjects had this degree of reduction.Type 2 DiabeticsThe fall in average HbA1c levels was significant among type 2 diabetics—a more than 13 percent decrease vs. a less than 3 percent decrease in control subjects.Average insulin levels were reduced by 18 percent in test subjects compared with 12 percent in controls.Food for ThoughtReactive foods and chemicals play a role in sustaining diabetes by triggering a chronically distressed immune state.[xxiii] Our finding of much higher immune reactivity to pasteurized cow's milk products among type 2 diabetics than among controls is of interest. A number of studies have reported an association between pasteurized milk consumption and insulin resistance.[xxiv],[xxv] Synthetic bovine hormones, commonly found in commercial milk, are an additional, separate risk factor.[xxvi]In this study, we found that immune control was improved by reducing the immune load for the individual, providing sufficient nutrients, and reducing neurohormonal distress (by eliminating allergens such as cow's milk).Rationale for a Non-Reactive DietGiven the addictive properties of allergenic foods, testing for sensitivities becomes doubly important. With allergic reactions and sensitivities, an almost immediate sense of relief is experienced when an allergenic food is consumed, because the symptom-provoking antibodies are neutralized temporarily by the uptake of digestive antigens. Without specific awareness of delayed sensitivities, the individual may continue to regularly consume reactive foods. When people react to gluten or any fraction in wheat flour, the immune and metabolic consequences often cause spikes and dips in blood sugar.[xxvii],[xxviii] Diabetes and celiac disease are found in the same person more often than would be suggested by chance occurrence. Both often include autoimmune responses to gluten-containing grains, including wheat, barley, oats, kamut, teff, spelt, and rye, although the glutens in each grain are immunologically distinct.One of the variables in these sensitivities is intestinal permeability (also known as leaky gut syndrome). Hyperpermeability is often due to maldigestion and repair deficits, and is now frequently linked to diabetes. Minimizing dietary allergens is an important step in reducing intestinal hyperpermeability through enhanced immune defenses and repair mechanisms.Glycemic Load rather than Glycemic IndexA third important factor in diabetes is the level of carbohydrates in the diet. High-carb diets have been linked to diabetes in numerous studies, including research from the Harvard School of Public Health. Walter Willett and his team reviewed data from three major studies that lasted over five years and involved more than 150,000 health professionals.[xxix] The foods most predictive of diabetes in all the studies were refined carbohydrates—white bread, white rice, French fried potatoes, and sweetened carbonated beverages. These simple carbohydrates break down quickly and release glucose rapidly into the bloodstream without the nutrients needed to metabolize them, causing large fluctuations in blood sugar. Complex carbohydrates are broken down slowly during metabolism, providing the steady release of glucose without a rapid change in blood sugar levels.Glycemic IndexThe glycemic index (GI) is a measure of the effects of carbohydrates on blood sugar levels. All foods that cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels have a high glycemic rating. In addition, the GI often reflects the nutritional value of food. Refined foods typically have a higher rating on the GI, and tend to be less nutrient dense, since the nutrients have been stripped away in the process of refining.A GI rating of 70 or more is considered high, 56 to 69 is medium, and 55 or less is low. Comparing the glycemic ratings of foods in their natural state with those of the same foods after processing offers a series of nutrition snapshots. For example, corn flakes have an average glycemic rating of 81, while cooked sweet corn has an average rating of 52. Likewise, the rating for instant mashed potatoes is 87, while the rating for new potatoes is 54.[xxx] A healthier diet includes foods that have GI ratings of 55 or less. Foods that have lower GI ratings are described as "insulin sparing," because they raise blood sugar gradually and therefore require less insulin to process.A major limitation of the index is the wide variability in reported food values across cultures and from one research team to the next. In addition, the degree to which a specific food raises blood sugar may vary from person to person, depending on the degree and type of immune reactivity. An example of this confusion is reflected in a series of articles on the glycemic index published by an Australian research team.[xxxi] In 2008, they took on the daunting task of correlating all the data on the index into a single set of guidelines.xxix Although the glycemic index they compiled was theoretically helpful, some of their findings were diametrically opposed to other research findings over the past several decades. For example, the tables developed by these researchers gave high ratings for whole grain wheat products and low ratings for refined pasta, the opposite of earlier versions of the index. The authors offered no explanation for this change. Their finding was in contrast to a large study from the Harvard School of Public Health, which reported that people who ate whole grains were 25 percent less likely to develop diabetes.[xxxii]Another limitation is that the GI is most applicable to whole foods. It becomes less useful and even confusing when applied to processed foods and beverages. In addition, the index does not take into account portion size. Large servings of a food low on the index can represent a large glycemic load, indicating demand for insulin. Glycemic LoadThe glycemic load (GL) is a more advanced method of assessing the impact of carbohydrate consumption. GL takes the glycemic index into account but provides a fuller picture of what goes on in the body.[xxxiii] A GI value indicates how rapidly a particular food turns into sugar. In contrast, the GL includes how much of that food is being consumed, as well as what proportion is complex carbohydrates and how much is simple sugars. This provides a better prediction of blood sugar levels and metabolic stress from the food.[xxxiv] A GL of 20 or more is considered high, 11 to 19 medium, and 10 or less low. Foods with a GL of less than 10 are recommended. Foods with a GL above 20 should be avoided.The Role of FiberImportant and frequently overlooked, dietary fiber is also key to blood sugar management. Preferred fibers are unprocessed and comprised of 80 percent soluble or fermentable fiber and 20 percent insoluble or viscous fiber. The density of fiber-rich foods slows sugar release into the bloodstream. Thus, dietary fiber helps keep blood sugar levels constant. Good sources of carbohydrate with low GL ratings and high soluble and insoluble fiber content include dried peas, beans, and lentils. Fresh, low-starch vegetables that are ample sources of fiber include green beans, asparagus, most leafy greens, and cruciferous plants such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage. These foods lower blood sugar levels, improve insulin response, promote weight loss, and improve blood lipid levels. A low glycemic diet can also support measurable improvement in markers of inflammation such as high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). These factors are all associated with lower risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.[xxxv]Foods high in fiber also tend to provide more magnesium and antioxidants. Oat bran flour and barley are good examples of foods high in beta-glucan fibers. Beta-glucans are specialized complex carbohydrates that improve sugar and insulin responses in diabetics.Most people can benefit from increased dietary fiber to improve digestive transit and to reduce cardiovascular and cancer risks through improved glycemic response. Elevated blood sugar decreases available repair factors. This leads to what is known as systemic inflammation, which can gradually damage blood vessels, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. A high-GL diet also promotes weight gain, typically increasing fat tissue around the midsection (belly fat). Belly fat can produce harmful estrogens that are associated with higher cancer risk.ConclusionThe standard American diet tends to promote metabolic acidosis. This increases the level of acidity in our cells due to a corresponding insufficiency of minerals. The evidence is increasingly clear that acid-forming lifestyles induce degenerative, autoimmune, and chronic conditions. It is equally clear that a nutrient-rich Alkaline Way program is associated with increased resilience, health, and vitality.Of all the illnesses in industrial society, diabetes takes the greatest toll. Over 100,000 people die from complications of diabetes each year. Another million lose quality of life due to metabolic syndrome. Diabetes adds $135 billion to the annual cost of healthcare in the U.S.1 Yet diabetes remains avoidable, treatable, and reversible. In an era with greater availability of nutrient-rich, organic, and biodynamically grown foods, it has become easier to choose "healthy" low-GL foods. The approach discussed here can effectively address both causes and effects of metabolic syndrome and diabetes.

]]>2018-01-14T14:13:15+01:002018-01-14T14:13:15+01:00http://www.jetsunsunbeds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=217&p=295#p295vaccine approaches, an Austrian investigative journalist is warning the world that the greatest crime in the history of humanity is underway. Jane Burgermeister has recently filed criminal charges with the FBI against the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations (UN), and several of the highest ranking government and corporate officials concerning bioterrorism and attempts to commit mass murder.

She has also prepared an Injunction against forced vaccination which is being filed in America. These actions follow her charges filed in April, 2009 against Baxter AG and Avir Green Hills Biotechnology of Austria (for producing 158 POUNDS of contaminated bird flu vaccine, (the weight of a very big human being but enough to inject a million people,) alleging this was a deliberate act to cause and profit from a pandemic. (Though the deliberate MURDERING OFF of us "USELESS EATERS" might be the case seeing that GOVERNMENTS were in COLLUSION on this VAC JOB and still are, as FEMA is indicating that if we do not let ourselves get injected we will be imprisioned!)

Summary of claims and allegations filed with FBI in Austria: In her charges, Burgermeister presents evidence of acts of bioterrorism that is in violation of U.S. law by a group operating within the U.S. under the direction of international bankers who control the Federal Reserve as well as WHO, UN and NATO. (The same villains related to all the SORROWS OF HUMANITY, )

This bioterrorism is for the purpose of carrying out a mass genocide against the U.S. population by use of a genetically engineered flu pandemic virus with the intent of causing death. This group has annexed high government offices in the U.S. Specifically, evidence is presented that the defendants, Barack Obama, President of the U.S, David Nabarro, UN System Coordinator for Influenza, Margaret Chan, Director-General of WHO, Kathleen Sibelius, Secretary of Department of Health and Human Services, Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Department of Homeland Security, David de Rotschild, banker, David Rockefeller, banker, George Soros, banker, Werner Faymann, Chancellor of Austria, and Alois Stoger, Austrian Health Minister, among others, are part of this international corporate criminal syndicate which has developed, produced, stockpiled and employed biological weapons to eliminate the population of the U.S. and other countries for financial and political gain.

BIOWEAPONS ARE BEING PREPARED FOR HUMANITY!

The charges contend that these defendants conspired with each other and others to devise, fund and participate in the final phase of the implementation of a covert international bioweapons program involving the pharmaceutical companies Baxter and Novartis. They did this by bioengineering and then releasing lethal biological agents, specifically the "bird flu" virus and the "swine flu virus" in order to have a pretext to implement a forced mass vaccination program which would be the means of administering a toxic biological agent to cause death and injury to the people of the U.S.

NOTE: That is not far fetched.

NIGERIA was forced to do POLIO VACCINATION and now that disease has been created there by the very VACCINE. The stuff had LIVE POLIO VIRUSES IN IT!

This kind of action is in direct violation of the Biological Weapons Anti-terrorism Act. Burgermeister's charges include evidence that Baxter AG, Austrian subsidiary of Baxter International, deliberately sent out 72 kilos of live bird flu virus, supplied by the WHO in the winter of 2009 to 16 laboratories in four counties. She claims this evidence offers clear proof that the pharmaceutical companies and international government agencies themselves are actively engaged in producing, developing, manufacturing and distributing biological agents classified as the most deadly bioweapons on earth in order to trigger a pandemic and cause mass death.

In her April charges, she noted that Baxter's lab in Austria, one of the supposedly most secure biosecurity labs in the world, did not adhere to the most basic and essential steps to keep 72 kilos of a pathogen classified as a bioweapon secure and separate from all other substances under stringent biosecurity level regulations, but it allowed it to be mixed with the ordinary human flu virus and sent to all EUROPE from its facilities in Orth in the Donau.

AUSTRIA COLLUDES IN HIDING THE EVENT! AUSTRIA which GAVE US HITLER and DOZENS OF FABULOUS KILLER KONCENTRATION CAMPS!

In February 2009, when a staff member at BioTest in the Czech Republic tested the material meant for candidate vaccines on ferrets, the ferrets all died. This incident was not followed up by any investigation from the WHO, EU, or Austrian health authorities. There was no investigation of the content of the virus material, and there is no data on the genetic sequence of the virus released.

In answer to parliamentary questions on May 20th, the Austrian Health Minister, Alois Stoger, revealed that the incident had been handled not as a biosecurity lapse, as it should have been, but as an offence against the veterinary code. A veterinary doctor was sent to the lab for a brief inspection. Burgermeister's dossier reveals that the release of the virus was to be an essential step for triggering a pandemic that would allow the WHO to declare a Level 6 Pandemic. She lists the laws and decrees that would allow the UN and WHO to take over the United States in the event of pandemic.

In addition, legislation requiring compliance with mandatory vaccinations would be put into force in the U.S. under conditions of pandemic declaration. She charges that the entire "swine flu" pandemic business is premised on a massive lie that there is no natural virus out there that poses a threat to the population. She presents evidence leading to the belief that the bird flu and swine flu viruses have, in fact, been bioengineered in laboratories using funding supplied by the WHO and other government agencies, among others.

This "swine flu" is a hybrid of part swine flu, part human flu and part bird flu, something that can only come from laboratories according to many experts. WHO's claim that this "swine flu" is spreading and a pandemic must be declared ignores the fundamental causes. The viruses that were released were created and released with the help of WHO, and WHO is overwhelmingly responsible for the pandemic in the first place. In addition, the symptoms of the supposed "swine flu" are indistinguishable from regular flu or from the common cold. The "swine flu" does not cause death anymore often than the regular flu causes death. Burgermeister notes that the figures for deaths reported for the "swine flu" are inconsistent and there is no clarity as to how the number of "deaths" has been documented.

There is no pandemic potential unless mass vaccinations are carried out to weaponize the flu under the guise of protecting the population. There are reasonable grounds for believing that the mandatory vaccines will be purposely contaminated with diseases that are specifically designed to cause death. Reference is made to a licensed Novartis bird flu vaccine that killed 21 homeless people in Poland in the summer of 2008 and had as its "primary outcome measure" an "adverse events rate", thereby meeting the U.S. government's own definition of a bioweapon (a biological agent designed to cause an adverse events rate, i.e death or injury) with a delivery system (injection).

She alleges that the same complex of international pharmaceutical companies and international government agencies that have developed and released pandemic material have positioned themselves to profit from triggering the pandemic with contracts to supply vaccines. Media controlled by the group that is engineering the "swine flu" agenda is spreading misinformation to lull the people of the U.S. into taking the dangerous vaccine. The people of the U.S. will suffer substantial and irreparable harm and injury if they are forced to take this unproven vaccine without their consent in accordance with: the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act, National Emergency Act, National Security Presidential Directive/NSPD 51, Homeland Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-20, and the International Partnership on Avian and Pandemic Influenza. In the U.S. since 2008, Burgermeister charges that those named in her allegations have implemented new and/or accelerated the implementation of laws and regulations designed to strip the citizens of the U.S. of their lawful constitutional rights to refuse an injection.

These people have created or allowed provisions to remain in place that make it a criminal act to refuse to take an injection against pandemic viruses. They have imposed other excessive and cruel penalties such as imprisonment and/or quarantine in FEMA camps while barring the citizens of the U.S. from claiming compensation from injury or death from the forced injections. This is in violation of the laws governing federal corruption and the abuse of office as well as of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Through these actions, the named defendants have laid the groundwork for mass genocide. Using the "swine flu" as a pretext, the defendants have preplanned the mass murder of the U.S. population by means of forced vaccination.

They have installed an extensive network of FEMA concentration camps and identified mass grave sites, and they have been involved in devising and implementing a scheme to hand power over the U.S. to an international crime syndicate that uses the UN and WHO as a front for illegal racketeering influenced organized crime activities, in violation of the laws that govern treason. She further charges that the complex of pharmaceutical companies consisting of Baxter, Novartis and Sanofi Aventis are part of a foreign-based dual purpose bioweapons program, financed by this international criminal syndicate and designed to implement mass murder to reduce the world's population by more than 5 billion people in the next ten years. Their plan is to spread terror to justify forcing people to give up their rights, and to force mass quarantine in FEMA camps.

The houses, companies and farms and lands of those who are killed will be up for grabs by this syndicate. By eliminating the population of North America, the international elite gain access to the region's natural resources such as water and undeveloped oil lands. And by eliminating the U.S. and its democratic constitution by subsuming it under a North American Union, the international crime group will have total control over North America.

Highlights from the complete dossier The complete dossier of the June 10th action is a 69 page document presenting evidence to substantiate all charges. This includes: Factual background that delineates time lines and facts that establish probable cause, UN and WHO definitions and roles, and history and incidents from the April, 2009 "swine flu" outbreak. Evidence the "swine flu" vaccines are defined as bioweapons as delineates in government agencies and regulations classifying and restricting vaccines, and the fear of foreign countries that "swine flu" vaccines will be used for biological warfare. Scientific evidence the "swine flu" virus is an artificial (genetic) virus.

Scientific evidence the "swine flu" was bioengineered to resemble the Spanish flu virus of 1918 including quotes from Swine Flu 2009 is Weaponized 1918 Spanish Flu by A. True Ott, Ph.D., N.D., and a Science Magazine report from Dr. Jeffrey Taubenberger et.al. The genome sequence of the "swine flu" Evidence of the deliberate release of the "swine flu" in Mexico Evidence as to the involvement of President Obama that delineates his trip to Mexico which coincided with the recent "swine flu" outbreak and the death of several officials involved in his trip. Contention is made that the President was never tested for "swine flu" because he had been previously vaccinated. Evidence as to the role of Baxter and WHO in producing and releasing pandemic virus material in Austria includes a statement from a Baxter official stating the accidentally distributed H5N1 in the Czech Republic was received from a WHO reference center.

This includes delineation of evidence and allegations from Burgermeister's charges filed in April in Austria that are currently under investigation. Evidence Baxter is an element in a covert bioweapons network Evidence Baxter has deliberately contaminated vaccine material. Evidence Novartis is using vaccines as bioweapons Evidence as to WHO's role in the bioweapons program Evidence as to WHO's manipulation of disease data in order to justify declaring a Pandemic Level 6 in order to seize control of the USA. Evidence as to the FDA's role in covering up the bioweapons program Evidence as to Canada's National Microbiology Lab's role in the bioweapons program. Evidence of the involvement of scientists working for the UK's NIBSC, and the CDC in engineering the "swine flu". Evidence vaccinations caused the Spanish killer flu of 1918 including belief of Dr. Jerry Tennant that the widespread use of aspirin during the winter that followed the end of World War I could have been a key factor contributing to the earlier pandemic by suppressing the immune system and lowering body temperatures, allowing the flu virus to multiply.

Tamiflu and Relenza also lower body temperatures, and therefore can also be expected to contribute to the spread of a pandemic. Evidence as to manipulation of the legal framework to allow mass murder with impunity. Constitutional issues: the legality vs. illegality of jeopardizing the life, health and public good by mass vaccinations. The issue of immunity and compensation as evidence of intent to commit a crime. Evidence as to the existence of an international corporate crime syndicate. Evidence of the existence of the "Illuminati". Evidence as to the depopulation agenda of the Illuminati/Bilderbergs and their involvement in the engineering and release of the artificial "swine flu" virus.

Evidence that weaponized flu was discussed at the annual Bilderberg meeting in Athens from May 14-17, 2009, as part of their agenda of genocide, including a list of attendees who, according to a statement once made by Pierre Trudeau, view themselves as genetically superior to the rest of humanity. Media is keeping Americans clueless about the threat they are under Jane Burgermeister is a dual Irish/Austrian who has written for Nature, the British Medical Journal, and American Prospect. She is the European Correspondent of the Renewable Energy World website. She has written extensively about climate change, biotechnology, and the ecology.

In addition to the charges currently under investigation that she filed against Baxter AG and Avir Green Hills Biotechnology in April, she has filed charges against WHO and Baxter among others concerning a case of exploding "swine flu" vials meant for a research lab on a busy IC train in Switzerland. In her view, control of the media by the ruling elite has allowed the world crime syndicate to further its agenda unabated while the rest of the people remain in the dark about what is really going on. Her charges are an attempt to get around this media control and bring the truth to light. Her greatest concern is that "in spite of the fact Baxter has been caught red handed nearly triggering pandemic, they are also moving ahead, together with allied pharma companies, with supplying the vaccine for pandemics." Baxter is hurrying to get this vaccine to market some time in July.

In your free book: Award-winning fund manager Tim Price reveals his plan to help you survive the coming assault on your personal wealth

Dear Friend,

All your life you have been careful with your money.

Work hard. Live within your means. Build up your savings in the bank. You've done all the right things.

And it has been your right as a UK citizen to expect your money to be safe and for YOUR savings to be under YOUR control.

You take it as given that you can withdraw as much as you want, whenever you want.

And rightly so.

But today I’m writing to tell you that this arrangement… one that gives you freedom to save and spend your money as you wish… one that you take for granted… is coming under serious threat.

That’s why, if you have any savings in the bank… or any other assets priced in British sterling…

The War On Cash Book by Tim PriceYou absolutely MUST know what’s revealed inside Tim Price’s acclaimed book, “The War on Cash: How to Survive Financial Martial Law”.

In it, you’ll get a simple plan of action for how to shelter your savings, safe-guard your wealth, and prepare yourself and your family for what could be the biggest financial crisis that you will ever face.

As part of a nationwide campaign to warn and prepare as many people here in Britain as possible, I’m offering this exclusive survival manual FREE to any U.K. resident with a valid postal address.

Plus, you’ll receive four more free gifts to help you understand and respond to the coming attack on your personal wealth.

If you’ve been paying attention to what’s been going on around you… you will already be worried.

The financial authorities have openly admitted their plan to consider a series of drastic actions that threaten your financial security…

And your fundamental rights as a British citizen .

Not only are they formally discussing negative interest rates – which will CHARGE you for the ‘privilege’ of holding your money… slowly stripping you of your wealth…

They are talking about abolishing cash altogether.

Don’t stand for it. We’re not.

We want to show you how to prepare to defend your wealth NOW – while you still can.

If you don’t realise the serious implications of this act, I’ll tell you more about this dystopian scheme as we go along. I’ll share with you:

- How every single one of your transactions will be tracked and logged

- How the financial authorities could manipulate the system and FORCE you to spend the money you want to save

- Why it will turn you into a SLAVE of the financial system

And I’ll explain how you can pick up your FREE book to help you survive these radical assaults on your personal wealth.

But first – you must prepare for…

THE ABOLITION OF CASHIt has long been the goal of rulers to control populations by controlling their money.

And we believe this is about to come to a sharp point here in Britain.

Because as you read this, central bankers, governments and large financial institutions are plotting the outlawing of hold-in-your-hand currency.

And now, for the first time in history — totalitarian control of our wealth is technologically possible.

Seem far-fetched? Like something from 1984?

Don't believe me?

Well, it's too late for any doubts. Because this strange and dangerous plan is already gathering momentum in the world's biggest economy — America.

JP Morgan Chase — the world's biggest bank — has enacted a policy restricting the use of cash in selected markets, bans on cash payments for credit cards, mortgages and car loans and disallows the storage of 'any cash or coins' in safe-deposit boxes.

Cash seizures in the US have rocketed because of aggressive new civil forfeiture laws. As reported in the Washington Post, last year police made 61,998 cash seizures. And they have confiscated more than $2 billion since 2001.

In the US, having large amounts of cash is already seen as being a 'suspicious activity'. If you withdraw a lot of cash in the States, the bank is REQUIRED BY LAW to fill out 'suspicious activity reports' or SARs on their customer

To a lot of people, these seemingly disparate financial controls might seem unconnected.

But if you are used to identifying patterns in the market — as we are — these 'breadcrumbs' lead you to a very worrying place.

Limits on cash are fast becoming the norm in many Western countries...

In France, you can now only spend 1,000 euros in cash.

French police can search people on trains just passing through France to see if they are transporting cash. And they have the power to seize it.

In Greece, drastic capital controls are still in place because of its ongoing financial crisis. Greek savers are still having their withdrawals RATIONED… unable to take out more than 500 euros a week.

In Sweden, banks are opening that won’t accept cash. And even in banks that do allow cash deposits, customers must explain where the money comes from.

The German Baader Bank, expects to formally abolish cash to enforce negative interest rates on accounts.

In Denmark, a new law to cut cash out of shopping could see Denmark become the first country to ditch notes and coins altogether. According to CNN Money, the Danish government has proposed that most stores could dump their cash registers.

In Australia, Citibank have announced a number of their branches will stop accepting cash altogether.

If you don't see where all this is heading, then let me be absolutely clear: they are coming for your cash.

In September 2016, the Bank of England made its plans explicit… with the BoE Chief Economist Andy Haldane floating the idea for the first time at a private speech:

Newspaper cuttingComplete abolition of cash threatens your very freedom and your rights as a British citizen.

And getting rid of cash has already been trialled here in Britain...

In 2014, a shopping street in Manchester banned cash as part of an experiment to see if we would accept a cashless society.

London buses stopped accepting cash payments from July 2014.

I'm sure you've noticed this quiet coercion in lots of other places, too... rewards for using debit and credit cards... closed cashier windows on the underground forcing you to use the machines, raising the contactless payment limit to £30, phone apps that let you digitally transfer money at a push of a button.

The authorities are associating cash with being old-fashioned, behind the times. They are trying to introduce a social stigma around it and humiliate every 'poor old sap' fumbling for change at the supermarket. This is a deliberate ploy to usher in an era of total control over your money and life.

Country by country, leading financial figures are trying to get higher denomination bills removed from circulation. The Bank of England has suggested the removal of the £50 note. The European Central Bank is planning to ban the 500 euro note. Australian financial authorities are trying to phase out the AUS$100.

And in November 2016, the War on Cash accelerated…

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi demonetized 500 and 1000 rupee notes, eliminating 86% of the country’s notes overnight. While Indians could theoretically exchange 500 and 1,000 rupee notes for higher denominations, it was only up to a limit of 4,000 rupees per person. Sums above that had to be routed through a bank account in a country where only 50% of Indians have such access.

And the following month, in December, the Venezuelan authorities became the latest aggressors in this war against its own citizens. As reported in The Guardian:

“Lining up from dawn with backpacks and plastic bags full of cash, Venezuelans flocked to banks across the country on Tuesday to ditch 100-–bolivar bills after President Nicolás Maduro’s surprise move to pull them from circulation.”Bad financial ideas have a nasty habit of catching on. Look at QE. Look at low and negative interest rates. When the line has been crossed, the central banks of the world feel emboldened. And that’s bad news for you as an investor and saver.

Killing off cash gives them totalitarian power over you as an individual. Not only will their CCTV cameras (the most per square mile in the world) track your every move... but your every transaction will be logged, too. They will have complete control over your life.

'We are heading for economic Armageddon and the day of reckoning is rapidly approaching, you better wake up before the coffin is nailed shut' Financial journalist and Former Chairman of Princeton Economics Ltd, Martin Armstrong.They can even FORCE you to spend money.

Imagine this scenario...

The stock market crashes. Talks of a recession ensue. So in response, the authorities lower rates to negative -5%. What are you going to do? Faced with seeing your hard-earned money slowly confiscated at a rate of 5% a year, you have no choice. Better go out and spend it, right? Buy shares. Buy another house, a car, a set of steak knives. Just buy something!

By now you must realise they will do ANYTHING — whatever it takes — to preserve their power over you.

This is Financial Martial Law.

This is an economic dictatorship that makes the system extremely combustible. Because all it will do is encourage people to rack up even MORE credit.

When you are being punished for saving money, who is going to save then? Not a single soul, of course. People will start to create debt en masse, because it is the better and cheaper option. Things cannot get a lot crazier than this.

If you have any doubt about what this War on Cash means for your money and your liberty, this excerpt from ZeroHedge sums what’s at stake here:

Cash is one of the few remaining options for financial privacy that doesn’t create a permanent record of every purchase or transaction you make.

It’s also an easy way to reduce your exposure to risks in the broader financial system.

Think about it– the banking system is full of institutions that never miss an opportunity to demonstrate they cannot be trusted with our money.

Hardly a month goes by without some major banking scandal; they’re caught colluding on exchange rates, manipulating interest rates, fraudulently establishing fake accounts without customer consent (and then charging us fees on top of that).

It’s disgraceful.

In addition, bank safety is far from certain.

In many banking systems across the world (especially in Europe right now), banks have precariously low levels of capital and are already suffering the effects of negative interest rates.

Even in the United States, banks routinely employ very clever accounting tricks to conceal their true financial condition.

There’s also the fact that, the moment you make a deposit at a bank, it’s no longer your money. It becomes the bank’s money.

And they can do with it as they please, whether it’s freezing you out of your account or making idiotic investments with minimal reserve requirements.

You have no say in the matter.

As a bank depositor, you’re nothing more than an unsecured creditor of a financial institution which may or may not allow you to withdraw your own savings.

If you don’t believe me, take a trip down to your bank and ask to withdraw $25,000. See how quickly they treat you like a criminal terrorist.

Bottom line, conventional banking is not risk–free. And holding cash is one way to reduce that risk.

Cash essentially eliminates the middleman between you and your savings… at least, the portion of your savings that can be easily exchanged for goods and services in the economy.

This is the collapse of capitalism. This is the death of the free market. The death of the British ideal of free trade amongst equals.

This affects everyone. But it is an especial kick in the gut to anyone who has spent most of their working life setting up a safety net for their retirement. That sounds like a bold claim. Let me tell you more about the man who is making it and the book he’s written to help protect Britons like you from the coming assault on your financial freedom.

Who is Tim Price? And why do I believe his book is so valuable I’m willing to send it to you for FREE ?Tim Price is a realist.

He is an award winning fund manager. In fact, he has been nominated as ‘Best Defensive Investor’ in the UK five times.

He has been entrusted by some of the wealthiest institutions and individuals in Britain to look after a lot of money. To the tune of several billion pounds.

Tim doesn’t invest in an ideal world.

He invests in the world he sees around him. The real world.

He has worked at some of the world’s biggest and most influential financial institutions, such as Ansacher Bank and PFP Management. First as a bond salesman – then as a private wealth manager.

Tim is a regular columnist in MoneyWeek Magazine and executive editor John Stepek calls him "the best investor I know".

Tim is also a regular contributor to The Spectator, has been interviewed on the BBC and is frequently asked to speak at events such as The MoneyShow.

Why?

Because Tim has a habit of getting the big calls right... spotting the lurking dangers in the market and steering the hundreds of millions he looks after out of harm’s way.

The War On Cash Book by Tim PriceIn fact, in 2008, while the wealth of millions was being obliterated by the financial crisis, Tim’s wealth fund preserved its value. It takes a lot to spook a big picture thinker like Tim.

But right now, he’s worried. He sees a situation developing that could decimate the wealth of millions of people in this country. And that’s why he has spent the last six months putting together The War on Cash: How to Survive Financial Martial Law

He is concerned that here in Britain people do not see where the actions being deployed by our financial authorities are heading.

He believes hordes of innocent savers and investors – including you – could soon be herded into financial enslavement.

In short, he’s now predicting the worst assault on personal wealth Britons have EVER seen:

Financial Martial Law is coming to Britain – and your savings and investments are under threatAs you will discover in Tim’s book, the authorities are scared.

Faced with an unpayable public debt - £1.8 trillion and counting – they have defied the laws of finance and common sense to try and stave off disaster.

But how did things get so bad?

How did we reach a point when those we trusted to look after our interests started to deliberately deceive us?

Well, it happened quietly and seemingly innocuously.

At some point over the last 30 years, those in charge of the financial system — governments, central bankers — realised something profound:

They were losing control.

Their attempt to buck the laws of finance was failing.

Payback time for all that borrowed money — a harsh and impoverishing payback — was approaching.

They watched other debt-laden countries blow up before their eyes. The phony boom and inevitable bust of Japan in the 1980s was a harbinger of doom for the West. As was the Argentina crisis in the 1990s.

But instead of acting responsibly — paying down the debt by slowly and steadily reducing public spending... they did the opposite.

In gambling terms, they 'doubled-down'. They saw it as an opportunity to take further control of the financial system and your life.

How?

Well, they made it cheaper and easier for them to keep borrowing. And harder and harder for you to save. They did this by lowering interest rates.

UK base rate past 25 years graphSource: Bloomberg

Here, let me show you...

Low interest rates make it easier to borrow money.

That's why the government and the Bank of England have pushed interest rates down to an all-time low.

The lowest they have been in over 5,000 years!

It doesn't make any sense. Step back and think about it.

Usually when you are in huge debt, interest is high. The more debt you have, the riskier it is to lend to you.

But rates have been at emergency lows for EIGHT years.

Short and long term interest rate graphSource: Bank of England

And it has driven hordes of disillusioned savers to commit financial suicide... wrack up debts they too can never pay back. Everyone is spending money they don't have.

It has fuelled the biggest financial boom in history. Sending house prices and stock markets to all-time highs.

But behind the charade, this artificial system is already failing. Nothing can stop it.

Most systems — in the mechanical world — have a way of dealing with this problem. Machines that have the potential to cause harm include a switch that is automatically triggered when it becomes dangerous.

It's called a 'fail-safe'. It's a 'kill switch' for when danger is imminent.

Unfortunately, an economic policy can have no such switch. There is no fail-safe. The financial machine will be left to run and run until its pressure gauges blow.

In a matter of months, or weeks, even days, all that pressure will be released.

And it will be used to usher in a time of unprecedented financial restrictions for you.

If interest rates were at their historically 'normal' rate of 5% — instead of the all-time low of 0.5% they're at right now — there's absolutely no way Britain could ever repay its debts.

In fact, at normal rates of interest we're already bust. Not just 'in over our heads' but six feet under.

It's simple maths. If interest rates moved back towards the normal 5% level, our cost of borrowing would triple.

Just to put that into context, if our current debt repayments tripled, the government would have to take drastic action — like abolishing the state pension. Or privatizing the NHS. Or pushing tax rates back up to 90%, as they were in the 1960s.

In short, Britain would change radically.

And that's just if interest rates move back to 'normal' levels.

Now you are probably thinking 'there's no way the Bank of England or the government would let this happen'. You think they'd act to prevent it.

You are right. They are about to act. They are considering abolishing your cash to keep a tight control on your money.

We may not think of ourselves as an extreme economy like Argentina. Or Cyprus. Or Greece. But the reality of it is: we're the same.

In fact, we have borrowed far more than any of those nations. The perception is that our economy is too important. That Britain is too big to fail.

Don't believe it.

What you are about to see is the end-game of Britain's colossal accumulation of debt. And it is a ticking time bomb.

In this scenario, debt is the gunpowder... it has made our entire system prone to combustion.

Interest rates are the spark that will set the whole thing off.

Those in charge of the financial system know it.

They will do everything they can to delay the explosion of Britain's debt bomb.

And that's why they could be on the verge of implementing draconian measures:

Total control of your money.

Are you prepared to cede control over your finances and life?Speaking as an investor, this sickens me. The authorities are trying to turn us into a nation of reckless spenders. Your right to save money and see it grow is being abolished.

If that doesn't bother you, stop reading. I can't help you. I just hope you make it through Financial Martial Law in-tact.

But if you are totally unprepared, I don't fancy your chances.

This plot to control your wealth and life has been brewing for centuries, as 19th Century American President Andrew Jackson said of his bankers:

'You are a den of vipers! I intend to rout you out, and by the Eternal God I will rout you out. If the people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system, there would be a revolution before morning.'But there has been no revolution. Their power has only increased as the years have gone by.

As financial journalist John Rubino wrote: 'A cashless society would pretty much guarantee a dictatorship in a single generation.'That is their plan for you and your money — enslavement.

I want to help you sabotage those plans.

You really need to grasp what is going on. There is a serious risk of losing more than 'just' money here... this is a threat to your freedom. This is about the financial authorities forcing their will upon you and deciding what you can and cannot do with YOUR life!

And in my view, your chances of going it alone and coming out on top are perilously low.

Over the next five to ten years, I believe Britain will be divided in two:

Those who want to remain asleep. They believe the lie. They will choose delusion.

Those who want to wake up. They see things the way they really are. They have had their eyes opened. They will seek new and effective ways to preserve their money.

Which group will you fall into?

Only you can make that choice.

But it is one you need to make NOW.

So what can you do? How can you prepare?

LET ME SHOW YOU.

If you provide me a valid UK address, I will send you Tim’s book, FOR FREE.The War On Cash Book by Tim PriceYou need a survival guide to help you understand and respond to this shameless attack on your personal wealth and freedom.

And I’d like to hand it to you – for FREE.

My only request is you pay a reasonable £4.50 to help with the unavoidable costs of shipping & handling.

My name, by the way, is Nick O’ Connor.

I’m a publisher here at Southbank Investment Research, an independent financial publishing firm with more than 100,000 readers around the globe.

But here’s the important part: I haven’t been this concerned about a worldwide market meltdown since 2008, and I believe so strongly that Tim’s new book can help you survive, that I want to give it to you today.

Inside you’ll discover ...

Part One – The mess we’re in.

In these chapters Tim explains how central bankers have seized control of the world’s finances…

Why they have broken all known laws of finance and common sense to delay the ‘inevitable’ collapse all debt-reliant civilizations must suffer…

And why that makes their desperate experiments with your money so dangerous.

Part Two: The threats to your money

Here Tim brings the context to this disaster to a sharp point: what it means for you and your financial future.

Tim reveals how the inevitability of rising interest rates will obliterate UK savers and investors.

He forecasts a Great Depression for the eurozone, a massive US stock market collapse and an event that could prove a financial nightmare for everyone in the country: the bursting of the UK gilt bubble.

Part Three: How to protect yourself

Crucially for you, Tim uses his 25 years’ experience as an award-winning wealth manager to show you how to respond to these threats.

Tim has put together a coherent and easy to action plan so you can prepare for the financial chaos he predicts.

You’ll discover the 25 practical steps you can take with your money now to help shield you from market panic.

You’ll also get an introduction to Tim’s ‘Cockroach Portfolio’ approach – an asset allocation strategy that Tim believes can help you survive the coming assault on your personal wealth.

That’s just a glimpse of what Tim sheds light on in.

I understand you must have a few questions about the book and whether it is really for you. So I’ve tried to anticipate them. I sat down with Tim recently and asked him some of the questions that might be swirling around your head right now.

Simply click on the question to read Tim’s answer:Q. Why are you issuing this warning now?

Q. Who is this book for?

Q. Critics might say this sort of thing is sensationalist and could damage your reputation as a serious wealth manager. What would you say to them?

Q. What is the real threat here? If financial authorities do restrict – or even abolish cash – what does it mean for the man on the street?

Q. What’s happened since you completed the book that you think makes this threat even more urgent?

Q. Isn’t the real threat people should be preparing against RISING interest rates, not negative rates? Wouldn’t rising rates be a lot more destructive? Are these two things connected?

Q. What’s the risk of doing nothing? Of simply seeing how this plays out?

Q. Can people prepare against the financial restrictions you believe they are about to face?

Q. How can your ‘Cockroach Portfolio’ approach help investors see this through? How does it work?

Q. What do you want people to take away from this book?

There’s so much more, I don’t have the space to explain it all here.

That’s why, instead of me trying to convince you about how crucial this information is for you and your family— I’ve arranged it so you can see it all for yourself first, before you make a decision.

In other words, instead of asking you to trust me when I tell you how great this book is ...

I’ll put my trust in you first, by giving you this valuable book FREE, so you can make up your own mindI can do this confidently because I know the value of this information. I believe in Tim’s work so completely that I’ve started taking the steps he recommends inside this book for my own family (and it’s why I’m absolutely convinced it can help you too).

And that’s why I want to offer you a copy of this book free. Again, all I ask is you invest just £4.50 to help cover the costs of shipping the book.

I think you will look back in a few months or a year and consider this the best fiver you ever spent. It could save you a lot of heartache and anxiety down the line.

But also, because I want you to be as prepared as possible, I want to send you four more special gifts when you reserve your copy of The War on Cash: How to Survive Financial Martial Law today ...

FREE GIFT #1: THE END GAME SURVIVING THE FINAL PHASE OF FINANCIAL MARTIAL LAW

We are living through the tail end of the biggest bubble in history — a bubble in bonds. At some point it has to burst — so we must ensure that our capital isn't vulnerable as and when that happens. Do you know how to stay ahead of the carnage? Tim will give you a clear idea of how to manage this dangerous investment landscape.

The media select, they interpret, they emotionalise and they manipulate facts. The media lie. They have an agenda to placate and confuse you. As this crisis develops, there will be a lot of misinformation, spin and deception. Tim will show you how to cut through the noise and keep a clear head.

Inside this report you will find simple steps you can take now to sure-–up your wealth as financial repression in the UK intensifies.

FREE GIFT #4: BRITAIN AFTER BREXIT: THE ONE STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS IN ANY MARKET

The markets are volatile, rising and falling at every tid bit of news and political spin. In this report Tim shows you how to keep a cool head and keep your wealth on track. This is the same calibre of insight and guidance he gives his wealthy clients. Today its yours with our compliments.

PLUS: A 30-day Trial to Tim Price’s LONDON INVESTMENT ALERT

The only way you are going to survive the coming turmoil is to understand it... to anticipate it... and ensure you're not overexposed to the riskiest assets. Your number 1 priority has to be self﻿-﻿preservation.

Every other week, he'll send you a special briefing on the market's latest lurking dangers. He uses his 25 years of experience and knowledge gained from vast contacts all over the world... to bring you a clear and sharply-focused picture of the financial landscape.

There are three distinct parts to his intelligence strategy that help him (and you) prepare for what may be around the corner. This process has served him very well over the years — Tim has been nominated 5 times for his defensive investing style — and I think you can benefit from it too:

Signal intelligence:

This is Tim’s stock in trade, analysing and selecting from the torrent of information cascading daily out of the markets. I won't get too technical but Tim looks at key markers that he’s have identified to give him a full picture of what's really going on...

Speaking to his contacts within the City, Wall Street and the financial districts throughout Europe and Asia, Tim listens to the 'chatter' and back-channel communications that come out of the financial world.

He gathers as much value-added information, data and insight as he can from a substantial pool of experienced and influential analysts, strategists and asset managers.

Pattern recognition:

Where is the market heading? Which are the biggest potential dangers? Where are they hidden?

Pulling all of his intelligence together, Tim use his 25 years of experience helping to manage the fortunes of some very wealthy investors and institutions. He makes sense of it all.

And then he shows you precisely how to translate this knowledge into practical investments to help you protect your wealth… and take advantage of the resulting opportunities.

From all this raw data, chatter and insight, he brings all these disparate threads together. And he offers clear ideas of what protective and positive action can and should be taken as a result. And his number 1 priority is to help investors prepare for the Financial Martial Law coming to Britain.

That is his job in the London Investment Alert.

You’ll get full access to Tim’s Fail Safe Portfolio: containing the recommendations Tim believes will help shelter and grow your wealth in the face of Financial Martial Law. Tim is one of the most respected Defensive investors in the City and his value approach has served him well for more than two decades.

In addition, you’ll have full access to a special portfolio for long–term savers – The Lifetime Wealth Portfolio: We realise that a lot of people already have significant holdings and their main anxiety is how to keep it growing as safely as possible… despite the uncertainty and instability in the markets. Well, that’s precisely why we drafted in MoneyWeek’s top investment analyst Cris Sholto Heaton... to create and manage a selection of investments with this specific goal.

As an elite wealth manager Tim only usually shares his core insights amongst a small group of people.

Unless you have £250,000 or more to invest, it's unlikely you'd ever cross paths.

But this is an extraordinary time. A time when your hard-earned money could be decimated by events beyond your control.

Frankly, I don't think that's fair. And I don't want to see that happen.

So when you claim your free book, you’ll also start to receive a subscription to the London Investment Alert to help you keep your money out of their hands. You’ll have a full 30 days to try it out and see if it’s for you.

If you like what you see, you won’t have to do anything else. If we don’t hear from you in 30 days, you will be charged the £45 for the first year of your subscription.

That’s 50% off of the full price!

That works out at just 86p a week. No-where else in Britain will you be able to get this level of financial insight and acumen. And you’ll pay almost nothing for it. About the cost of a packet of chewing gum a week.

This is an ever-changing situation, mutating all the time as central banks and governments attempt — in vain — to control the financial monster they've created.

You are not responsible for the situation you find yourself in.

You're not in control of interest rates.

You're not in control of bond yields.

You can't do anything about high street banks being critically exposed to European debt.

You're powerless to stop central banks abolishing paper currency.

All of that is way out of your control. But...

You ARE in control of where you put your money.That is your last remaining power you have over your financial life. Don't waste it. Use it while you still can.

The cost of leaving yourself at the mercy of the markets and aggressive government wealth repression is too great to even consider.

Once you are on board to receive these alerts, we'll be able to offer you specific strategies to help you preserve your wealth.

You'll have access to a level of true investment intelligence only a handful of people will ever experience.

But the first step is to grasp what is happening around you. Because I think only those who understand the nature of our financial system... and what may happen... are going to make it out intact.

Be one of them.

In the London Investment Alert you'll be one of the few people in Britain who know what's actually going on with your money.

As I've said, Tim has made a habit of getting the big calls right and moving the hundreds of millions of pounds under his charge out of harm's way. This is past performance, which you cannot rely on for future results. Tim’s track record and reputation simply indicates the calibre of his insight, and value of his experience.

Normally, access to this level of commentary and insight would set you back a lot of money.

For example, one exclusive publication Tim runs costs upwards of £1,000 a year.

But I don't want there to be ANY barrier between you and the kind of insight you need to stay ahead of the coming crisis.

Because it's never been as crucial or urgent for you to have practical knowledge about how to preserve your money.

So I am going to let you try it out at NO OBLIGATION whatsoever with your free copy of The War on Cash (and FOUR free gifts).

It’s important to remember that you must stay alert during these uncertain times because nobody can predict the future...Having Tim’s investment intelligence bulletin delivered to you every other week will allow you to stay ahead of the assault on your wealth… so your dreams of protecting and growing your savings can remain intact.

Even as the worst unfolds (before most other investors even have a clue) you will have an assurance that you have one of the most astute and respected minds in the investment intelligence community in YOUR corner.

If what Tim says makes sense to you, then great, we hope you’ll continue to receive his newsletter in the future ...

If not, then you can simply cancel with no hard feelings.

But at least you will have gotten a chance to see Tim’s work ... to read his warnings about the Financial Martial Law and the war on cash… and to get his best analysis to know how to prepare your family.

By saying yes today you’ll get the book, the 30-day trial to Tim’s London Investment Alert newsletter, and the free gifts I’ve shown you.

And you are under no obligation to buy anything else from Tim or I in the future.

I’m giving this package away free (and actually losing money) for two very important reasons:The War On Cash Book by Tim PriceNumber one, because I’ve spent practically my entire working career trying to warn people about the troubles in our financial system through my work at Southbank Investment Research...

Now, I’m trying to warn millions more people here in Britain to prepare for this dangerous assault on their wealth.

(Natural News) Oh, the theory of vaccines sounds great. Inject a tiny bit of the live virus into your blood so you can build antibodies and thus immunity against the “real deal” later. If that’s all there was to it, it could actually work. Then there’s the fear mongering that’s thoroughly “inflamed” and propagated by the press, pharma, and the medical doctors of quack Western medicine. This is where the real money is made. If you get measles you could die! If you get polio you’ll surely be paralyzed for life! If you get Zika, your baby’s head will be shrunken and deformed!

Yet, what if you found out today that the worst odds you or your children have of being infected with disease, disorder, and deformity exist in getting injected repeatedly with neurotoxins, genetically modified bacteria, live experimental strains of multiple viruses and pesticides? Consider this:

not one single vaccine ever produced that is recommended by the CDC today has ever been proven safe or effective. Why? They don’t have to prove it. All they have to do is scare the living hell out of everyone using propaganda, and it’s worked for 75 years.

Presenting the 7 most dangerous vaccines injected into humans without any proof of safety or efficacy

#1. Gardasil HPV – Forget for a moment the fact that many girls who get the HPV vaccine beginning at age 9 for a sexually transmitted disease (diseases they don’t have) go into immediate anaphylactic shock and some into comas and die, and let’s just talk about the insane boatload of chemicals the manufacturers put in this concoction that belong nowhere in medicine, ever, especially that which is injected directly into muscle tissue and that which can penetrate the blood/brain barrier. Plus, remember to triple the amounts of these carcinogenic, dangerous, ludicrous chemical ingredients of Gardasil, because there are 3 of these toxic jabs required.

First we have sodium borate at 35mcg. Also known as “borax,” this is the main poisonous ingredient in boric acid that’s used to kill cockroaches. Is your little girl a cockroach? Is it coincidence that the side effects listed and reported with the Gardasil vaccine match those of sodium borate poisoning? No, it’s not a coincidence. Did you know that anything imported into the European Union that contains borax must carry a warning label stating, “May damage fertility” and “May damage the unborn child.” This is what America “recommends” for preteen and teenage girls who are just reaching the age of fertility. Unbelievable!

Then, Gardasil HPV contains aluminum at 225mcg, which causes nerve cell death and helps the vaccine chemicals enter the brain. Let’s not forget that Gardasil HPV contains polysorbate 80 at 50mcg. Polysorbate 80 is used as an emulsifier in foods, but when injected into animals (such as humans), causes rapid, unnatural growth of reproductive organs, causing sterility. This is population control through vaccines, just as Bill Gates once said at a TED conference would be ideal for reducing the world’s population by a few billion. Polysorbate 80 is what causes the anaphylactic shock and also causes cancer and birth defects, while we’re on that topic. Sorry, but there’s not enough time to talk about the sodium chloride at nearly 10mcg.

#2. Anthrax vaccine (biothrax) – The dreaded anthrax jab contains aluminum hydroxide, formaldehyde (yes, embalming fluid for the dead), and benzethonium chloride. In 2009, a study published in the Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry stated that aluminum hydroxide could be the primary cause of Gulf War Syndrome. Aluminum hydroxide causes apoptosis of motor neurons, leading to dementia. Go figure. Thousands of US soldiers given the mandatory anthrax jab are still sick or have died. It was never approved by the FDA, yet any soldier refusing it got dishonorably discharged, fines, and possible prison time. President Clinton’s executive order 13139 gave the DoD permission to experiment on the US military with the highly dangerous anthrax concoction.

#3. MMR II – Under Appendix B, listed on the CDC website, you can find the ingredients for the MMR (MMR-II), the combination vaccines that contain recombinant human albumin, sorbitol, hydrolized gelatin, chick (egg) embryo cell culture, human diploid lung fibroblasts, and fetal bovine serum, among other certain preservatives and chemical adjuvants. In the “ProQuad” version, or MMRV (w/vericella for chicken pox), they’ve added monosodium L-glutamate, neomycin, and MRC-5 cells. And although measles is a respiratory disease accompanied by an uncomfortable rash and fever illness that anyone with a normal immune system will likely survive, the media scares the public into getting jabbed with neurotoxins.

#4. Swine Flu – This loaded nightmare hoax vaccine contains inactivated H1N1 virus propagated in embryonated chicken eggs. The multi-dose vials contain over 24mcg of mercury per .5 ml dose! The jab also contains antibiotics polymyxin and neomycin that annihilate good gut bacteria, making the immune system highly vulnerable to infection. Add in some fluid from chicken eggs and you have one of the most experimental jabs ever created and a hoax perpetuated by WHO, GSK and the CDC to profit in the billions.

#6. Influenza vaccine (a.k.a. the flu shot) – Specifically, the “FluLaval” flu shot contains 25 mcg of mercury in one jab. The EPA safety limit for drinking water? Just 5 mcg. Do the maths, then consider that shots bypass digestion, breathing, and skin filters. Common flu jabs also contain formaldehyde and polysorbate 80.

#7. RotaTeq for Rotavirus – Three oral doses of this Merck-made horror story cost about $200 and are mandated for about four million infants every year. Rotavirus vaccine contains 5 live strains, plus some fetal bovine serum and porcine circovirus–a volatile and dangerous virus that infects pigs. Side effects of RotaTeq? Difficulty breathing, vomiting and ear infection, followed by bloody stool. Then the intestines get blocked and twisted (known as intussusception) which can be deadly and requires surgery on infant’s intestines. Be sure and call your doctor right away if your child dies from RotaTeq.

Now if you’re here, you may already be aware of the vast benefits of regular coffee enemas. But in case you need a refresher, here are just some of the documented benefits:•Increased energy and alertness•Stimulation and detoxification of congested bile ducts to support the all-important liver functions.•Parasite and yeast elimination•Removal of gallbladder sludge and stones

The six variables are:1.Volume – how much liquid you’re instilling. The standard volume of each dose is 1 pint, with two doses recommended per procedure.2.Concentration – the ratio of coffee to water used during brewing. Standard concentration is 2 tablespoons per quart of water.3.Caffeination – the caffeine strength of the coffee used4.Duration – how long you hold each dose of coffee5.Temperature – the temp of the coffee6.Bucket height – this determines the speed with which the coffee enters your colon. 16 inches above your hiney is standard.

Any of these variables may be adjusted in order to achieve an effective procedure. Before I suggest any modifications, I will first give you exact standard preparation instructions as a starting point.Ingredients & Equipment

COFFEE – There’s a lot of debate on the kind of coffee to use. You have a choice of blonde roast, dark roast or rump roast. (Sorry, it was too easy!) Different enema equipment websites insist that blonde roast beans with maximum caffeine are best.However a study by Molecular Nutrition & Food Research showed that darker roasts are best as it maximizes the stimulation of glutathione and antioxidant Vitamin E. Dr. Isaacs maintains that the coffee must only be organic to minimize toxins.

There’s also debate on whether pre-ground or whole bean is best; I have personally found the same results with either but if you want to err on the side of freshness, buy whole bean and grind fresh just before preparation. Also remember to keep your coffee in the fridge or freezer for maximum potency.

FILTERED WATER – You don’t want to risk putting anything unsavory in your bottom so make sure to use clean water. Berkey Filters are an excellent choice.

COFFEE ENEMA FILTER – You could use a French press or a regular coffee machine and unbleached paper filters to drain the coffee. I don’t own a coffee maker so I use the pot-boiling method, and purchased a sturdy metal coffee filter from Pure Life Enema. It is an extra fine sieve for collecting teeny coffee particles, and I find it nestles perfectly on top of my half-gallon mason jar. Speaking of which…

MASON JAR – I use only glass jars to store the booty brew. I make several days’ worth at a time and store in quart or half-gallon jars in the refrigerator.

ENEMA BUCKET – Although you can use a plastic bag or stainless steel bucket kit, I can’t recommend the glass enema bucket by PureLifeEnema enough. This kit provides the bucket, hanging harness, silicone hose, and a free pack of enema coffee. I don’t like the idea of plastic in general, nor using a bag that I can’t clean the inside of.

A stainless bucket is a healthier option than plastic; however, it does prevent you from seeing how much liquid you’ve instilled with your first dose. Finally, there have been reports of sensitivity to the nickel in stainless steel. The glass bucket is easy to observe and to clean. Do take great care handling it.Make sure to follow the assembly instructions carefully and wet the bucket port before sliding the enema hose on. This ensures you won’t rip the tube should you need to detach it, like if you, um, forgot to install the tube clamp first. Theoretically, of course.

RUBBER COLON TUBE – The rubber tube from PureEnemaLife is much softer and more comfortable than the standard enema tip. Essential if you have a touchy tushie.

ENEMA HOSE – This attaches to the bucket port and the rubber colon tube, and comes standard with most kits. I use a 5 foot hose, which is the perfect length for me, but find what length works best for you.

ROLLING HOSE CLAMP – Many standard kits come with a snap clamp (not PurEnema’s stainless kit, however), I use a one-handed rolling clamp from Seeking Health. Unless you are an orangutan, the snap clamp can be tricky to open with one hand. I love the rolling clamp because it allows me to position the tube with one hand and easily control the flow with the other.

LUBRICANT – To allow painless passage of the colon tube. What lubricant you use is completely up to you, but I suggest something hypoallergenic and free of chemicals, fragrances or flavors. My lube of choice is the Aloe Vera Gelé by Desert Harvest. Sorry folks, no Passionate Pineapple Slip & Slide here. Desert Harvest lubricant is thick, has no artificial ingredients or preservatives, uses 100% organic aloe, and comes in a convenient pump dispenser. (Organic coconut oil works, too)

PAPER TOWELS – Let’s be clear: this process has a messy learning curve, so you’re going to need paper reinforcements.

SQUATTY POTTY – I personally believe every home needs a Squatty Potty for having proper bowel movements; I found mine to come in very handy as a headrest as I am lying on the floor. I placed a waterproof Chux pad and sheet over it as well as a small pillow.

INTIMATE EQUIPMENT SOAP – You DON’T want to use chemically-laden Dial or other sinister suds to clean your equipment. I use an coconut and essential oil-based wash by Lunette, designed for menstrual cups.

POO-POURRI SPRAY – Let’s also be clear: this procedure doesn’t exactly scent your bathroom like a rose garden. Whoever invented the idea of aromatic Poo-Pourri spray could win the Nobel Peace Prize in my book. I use a recipe for homemade poo-poo essential oil blend by ISaveAtoZ.com that helps mitigate odious odors.

NON-TOXIC DISINFECTANT – In the event of a fluid malfunction, you’ll want to clean up right. I use a silver ion-based disinfectant called PureGreen24, which is rated to kill MRSA and other nasties without killing your lungs or brain cells.

How to Prepare Enema Coffee

1.PREPARE COFFEE – Put two tablespoons of organic coffee with 1 Liter of boiled, filtered water in a glass French press. Let steep for 5 minutes, then press. Let cool to body temp (around 2-3 hours).2.ENEMA CONTAINER – 2-quart enema bag or stainless steel or glass bucket with a clamp.3.REMOVE AIR – Remove any air from the enema tube the following way: Grasp, but do not close the clamp on the hose. Place the tip in the sink. Hold up the enema bag above the tip until the coffee begins to flow out. Then close the clamp. This expels any air in the tube. Before doing ANYTHING ELSE, make sure the hose clamp is closed. Leaving that sucker open has resulted in more than one unanticipated flood. Fill your clean enema bucket with lukewarm coffee. Too cold, and you may have trouble holding your Caboose Coolatta. Too hot, and you’ll give a new, highly painful meaning to the term “Red Eye”.

•Incidentally, burns from scalding hot coffee during the procedure are the most popular argument against coffee enemas in general. Funny, I wouldn’t expect someone to insert a bottle of Prilosec in their tookus because of common sense; and yet if they did, I wouldn’t imagine AstraZeneca to be found at fault (this time).

4.LUBRICATE – Lubricate the enema tip with a small amount of coconut oil, aloe, or jojoba oil.5.POSITION – Lay on your LEFT side.6.PLACE CONTAINER ABOVE – With the clamp closed, hang the bag about one foot above your abdomen or rest the bucket on a nearby sink.7.INSERT – Insert the tip gently and slowly about 12 inches. Here’s where the fun begins. Gently and slowly insert the first 6-10 inches of the colon tube into your backside. It must get past two sphincters; you’ll feel a bit of resistance each time. It can feel a little… intimate. You may wish your colon tube had bought you dinner first. But it should in no way feel uncomfortable or painful, or else you may wish to consult a professional. If you have a resistant rear, it helps to take a deep breath and insert the tube on the exhale. To help guide you, you can wrap a rubber band a few inches past the desired length on the tube; this way, you can hold the rubber band and know you’re hitting your mark. Just make sure not to get fluids on the rubber band or it will harbor booty baddies. [Ed. Note: I find it easy to get past the second, uh, sphincter, once the joe is flowing]

8.OPEN FLOW – Open the clamp and hold the enema bag about one foot above the abdomen. The water may take a few seconds to begin flowing. If you develop a cramp, close the hose clamp, turn from side to side and take a few deep breaths. The cramp will usually pass quickly.9.RETAIN – Half the volume for 10 minutes, expel and repeat.Prep note: Since I’m lucky if I find matching socks to wear in the morning, I batch prepare my coffee to save time. You can make 4 procedures’ worth (a gallon of water and 8 tablespoons of coffee) and store 2 doses in a half gallon jar in the refrigerator for several days or the freezer. I just warm my Colon Cold Brew and use when lukewarm again!

Coffee Enema Cleanup

1.Wash hands THO-ROUGH-LY. You don’t want to touch anything until you’ve scrubbed your mitts.2.Pull the colon tube off the hose over the sink; anywhere else and you’ll get a refreshing Starbucks Shower.3.Clean the colon tube thoroughly. I cleanse it with Lunette wash, then rinse with hydrogen peroxide, then water.4.Put the colon tube to dry in safe place. Maybe not over your toilet, unless you want your colon tube to take refreshing dive into the porcelain lagoon, ahem.5.Wash and rinse the bucket with the cleanser and hot water. Then, fill the bucket with hot water.6.Hold bucket with one hand as high as you can, open the clamp and let the water and coffee remnants fully drain into the sink.7.Once empty, wipe the bucket dry with fresh paper towel. Store in a safe place where your toddler won’t use it to hold his crayons.8.Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. You can lose a lot of fluid during an enema, so I drink a mixture of 8 oz. water with 8 oz. coconut water to replace any lost electrolytes.

Coffee Enema TroubleshootingSo, throughout these instructions you may have gotten the sense that I’ve encountered a snafu or twenty with this procedure. I’ve given you the exact blueprint for successful enemas that I use daily.But, you may be encountering entanglements of your own. Below I’ve addressed the other issues I and others have experienced. So, let’s dive into…

I CAN’T HOLD THE ENEMA! – This is the number one (or two, as it were) obstacle that I (and some Fearless friends) have faced with the procedure. Here is where you can begin to experiment with the five variables.VOLUME – Try reducing the volume of liquid. This was my primary issue; after adjusting all of the other variables, I tried using half of the liquid and I was able to hold it for much longer. Just remember: if you’re reducing the liquid volume, you must have your bucket at 16 inches or higher to ensure gravity will help the liquid flush your bowels.CONCENTRATION – The coffee ratio may be too strong for you. Try diluting it down to 1 tablespoon coffee per quart of water.DURATION – Ideally holding each session at least 3 to 4 minutes. You can also add black strap molasses to the brew while it’s warm, but I haven’t found this to help me personally. The key to efficacy is doing two doses in one session; so even if its two rounds of 4 minutes each, you will still experience benefits..TEMPERATURE – As previously mentioned, you want to channel Goldilocks with this stuff and find the sweet spot. It’s much harder to hold when super chilly. Another option is timing. If you’re doing the enema after not having pooped all day, it may be hard to hold. Try doing it right after a bowel movement, or doing a clean water enema first to flush you out. A curious toddler can make this challenging, so I do it the second 30 minutes frees up.COFFEE ENEMAS MAKE ME JITTERY! – This is common with the first few enemas, especially if you’re sensitive to caffeine like I am. To acclimate, I prepared my coffee half-caf for the first few rounds, blending regular and decaffeinated coffee.THERE IS BLOOD IN MY STOOL! – You may be inserting or removing the tube from your rear too quickly. Even though it is uber-soft, the opening can scratch delicate rectal tissue. If that happens, I suggest giving your bottom a break so that it has time to heal. I use a dab of coconut oil to soothe and assist with healing.I CAN TASTE COFFEE IN MY MOUTH! – This is also extremely common, where placing odorous substances like coffee or garlic in nether regions (don’t ask) can trigger a flavor sensation. It’s perfectly normal and absolutely nothing to be concerned about.

Depression and Bi-polar disorder at at epidemic levels today. So many suffer from this debilitating condition but aren’t getting relief because the medical approach is flawed. The list of dangerous depression medications is growing almost daily but they focus on the brain. Over 90% of serotonin is produced in the gut. This is called the enteric brain. The majority of depression sufferers have leaky gut which is when large proteins are allowed to pass directly into the blood stream without being broken down properly first. The result is a lack of absorption of critical nutrients and improper overall function. The pharmaceutical industry focuses on drugs that are SSRIs or Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibiters. They believe it is a brain chemistry problem but in actuality, it is a leaky gut problem.

FAQs

Isn’t depression just a chemical imbalance?Absolutely not. There is no chemical difference in the brain comparing a severe schizophrenic to a “normal” person. Current medical protocols do not test the chemicals in the brain. There is, however, a neurotransmitter problem but even that isn’t measured today. Depression is a gut issue most of the time or a stress issue. Since 90% of the body’s serotonin is produced in the gut and a constant “fight or flight” state can lead to depression.Are anti-depressants safe?

Absolutely not. There is a black box warning on anti-depressants that says they have the effect of suicide or suicidal thoughts. Anything that has that effect, particularly when we don’t know how they work in the body, is a bad idea.

How do anti-depressants work?

The mechanism of action of anti-depressants is UNKNOWN. Nobody knows how they work! The advertisements say they BELIEVE they inhibit serotonin re-uptake, but they don’t really know for sure.

What are GMOs?

Genetically Modified Organisms. Those are patentable products that have NEVER had human testing. The animal studies show that they cause damage to the cholesterol synthesis and immune system. They are dangerous! Most countries are banning them now.

Isn’t depression just ‘all in my head’?

No, depression is mainly in your gut. It is actually called an enteric brain. Focus on the nervous system and the gut.

How can I get through my depression?

Find the stressors. It will be a physical, chemical or emotional stressor. Get your nervous system checked for the physical stressors. Chemical stress- eliminate toxins from your diet. Eat healthy organic whole foods.Emotional stress use meditation. You can also try the emotional freedom technique or EMDR (eye movement de-sensitization response). Using those methods will help you recover from your depression.

Depression is now a huge problem, it has now reached pandemic proportions. It begs the question why?

Please read these notes once twice or even more and also watch these video's more than once and refer back to them time and again because i have and each time i watch them i see or here something i missed the first time.[/quote]

This is a light overview albeit a bit long , but a very important read before watching the video's

People with depression have a smaller hippocampus than people without depression.90% of Serotonin a brain chemical (a neurotransmitter)is produced in the gut.Depression can be caused by the CNS (Central nervous system)

“Exercise helps with depression. One of the ways it does this is by reversing the atrophy (shrinkage) taking place in the Hippocampus plus it causes the chemical release of serotonin a hormone often referred to as the happy hormone”

Sleep restricted therapy to reset your circadian rhythm. Sleep or lack of is another contributor to depression. With a poor sleep pattern this alters your circadian rhythm. This can be corrected with a three week cycle of going to bed at no later than 10.30pm and out of bed at no later than 4.30am for a period of three weeks. No naps during the day.

This should reset your circadian rhythm. These times are set in stone and yes you will be tired whilst resetting your circadian rhythm.A sleeping mask will also help as during the night we tend to open our eyes every hour with lets a little light in and interrupts the pattern. So a sleeping mask will help this situation.

Causes of Depression

SSRI’s (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) Anti-depressant pills.Antidepressants increase risk of bipolar 50% within a 5 year period.You are 45% more likely to have a stroke.You have a 32% increased risk of a heart attack.

You are more likely to have a smaller hippocampus if you take blood pressure drugs, and You have a lack of omega 3s and a lack of the pre hormone vitamin D.Not enough good gut flora bacteria caused by toxins, glutamate and msg.Your Circadian rhythm is out of balance.A deficit in neurotransmitters.

Subluxation of the spine caused by poor posture affecting the CNS (Central nervous system) a chiropractor will be able to help with this to release the pressure on the CNS.This is the cause of so many illnesses because of the effect a trapped nerve trying to sinal messages to all parts of the body is prevented from doing its job.A back rack available from Amazon with magnets can also help to realign your spine.You have Poor nutrition. I.e. a big one is lack of omega 3s i.e. eggs for a good source and chicken. The Lack of omega 3s in your diet. Flaxseed is another good source of plant based omega 3s look for organic and milled.

Other causes that can also be reversed

False expectations! Most of the stuff we worry about does not come true.We have two minds. The conscious and the unconscious minds. The conscious mind is what we are thinking about all the time.The unconscious mind is programmed by repetition.

An example is to try using a tennis racket with your left hand if you are right handed. This is spoken about at length in one of the videos.This is called hand eye co-ordination or muscle memory.This actually changes the structures of the brain and reprogramming your subconscious mind.Emotions are chemicals secreted by the brain and how it perceives the environment.Habits create new neurons and so this is not a belief system just repetition.Having negative thoughts should be replaced with happy memories or things that make you feel good. Always try to see your cup half full and not half empty.

The “I am” Program (using Neurolinguistic language programing )

This program is based on repetition and is not a belief. This will create new chemical neurons in the brain.Here is the program to be spoken out loud every day before bed and read for ten minutes before going to sleep. This program should be spoken out loud each day between 3 and 5 times daily preferably in front of a mirror.

Say I am before each of these words below using body notation i.e. head up chin up chest out

MSG (monosodium glutamate) this is an excitotoxin MSG attaches to the pleasure centre in the brain so this becomes addictive. This has a neurological effect on brain function like aspartame, Splenda and NutraSweet.These neurotoxins can blow holes in the gut causing frontal lobe damage in the brain which in turn causes a loss of impulse control leading to depression, Bipolar disorder and violent behaviour etc.Allergies are abnormal protein.

The nervous system is split into the parasympathetic system (rest, digest and repair) and the sympathetic system (fight or flight)To recover from any disease including depression, bipolar disorder is vital to balance your autonomic nervous system.

Physical stress on the spine can cause stress on the nervous system.I.e. Pain in the hand can be caused by a misaligned vertebrae or subluxations.This will keep your body in fight or flight mode leading to high blood pressure and high sugar levels in the blood.

Reduce this pressure on the nervous system to change from a sympathetic dominant system to a normally balanced nervous system. Heal subluxation and the body will heal itself.Low cholesterol is also linked to depression. Cholesterol is vital for hormone production and is the main material the brain is made of.This low cholesterol can cause a hormone imbalance and brain dysfunction.

Perception

The first thing to look at to cure depression is the, nervous system then the stress hormones, then you look at rewiring the brain using neurolinguistics programming (i.e. the I am program)You have to perceive yourself as happy, successful etc.This will release the right emotional chemicals in your brain.

This is the true you and vice versa, like if you perceive yourself as unsuccessful. How you view your personal reality “the true you is what makes up your personality”Change your perception and it changes how your brain cells fire which changes the way your brain is wired (structural change) which in turn changes the type of chemicals produced which then changes your emotional state.

Neuroplasticity is changing your perception.

By doing this you will produce the right drug in the right dosage at the right time without any side effects as you do get from pharmaceutical drugs.“Emotions are chemicals produced by the way your brain is wired. Emotions are based on perceptions. Your perceptions are based on how your neurons fire together.Your neurons cause your body to produce chemicals with different emotions.Your emotions become your personal reality”

You have the ability to change brain structure and wiring with the list below:

•Sleep restricted therapy to reset your circadian rhythm.

The goal is to shift the emotion held in the right side of the brain to the left side (logic centre)This way the memory becomes just a memory.Depression and Bipolar are not genetic.

The control of what genes you express is in your hands . This is called “Epigenetic” control.The parts of DNA you choose to express are the key to health or disease.Note! A good book to read is “Biology of perception” by doctor Bruce Lipton.He talks about “it’s not what is really happening to you but how you perceive the event” This perception changes protein production.Please note! Medications can cause epigenetic changes.Drugs that are known to cause epigenetic changes include:

“Recovery from depression/ bipolar disorder cannot involve pharmaceutical or medication approach” in fact these medications make it worse by not treating the problem but the symptom.The key is to restore health and to do this we must find the contributing factors i.e. Chemical, Physical, and emotional stressors causing the disease processors.

As a normal healthy human you replace one billion cells per day.Diet should be 80% plant based foods and preferably organic. Animal based products have endotoxins in them that cause systemic inflammation.It takes around 90 days to heal a gut.

Eliminate poly unsaturated fatty acids from your diet. This will help stop the blood from clumping together. When this happens it doesn’t hold as much oxygen. Healthy blood full of oxygen is vital for a healthy brain.Eat plenty of fresh organic fruit and vegetables Eliminate Gluten and commercial diary Eliminate genetically modified foods and processed food.Try blending the following:ApplesCarrotsSpinachCeleryOrganic Coconut oil, a medium chain fatty acid excellent for healing brain function.Broccoli Try adding your own vegetables to a smoothie blender.It would be good practice for people with depression to take one tablespoon of organic coconut oil a day to heal the brain.Increase fish oils- sardine-mackeralDrink plenty of water around half your body weight in ounces. i.e. if you weigh 200lb you need 100 ounces of water per day.Water is also a great natural blood thinner and also helps produce oxygen in the blood hence more oxygen to the brain.

Remember perception changes physiology so you can think yourself well or you can think yourself into disease.Depression is labelled incurable but this is not true only if you keep on taking their drugs.

Remember exercise grows the Hippocampus even a 30 minute walk each day can do this.

The HICT program developed by Klika and Jordan was loosely based on circuit-style training that was first developed by R.E. Morgan and G.T. Anderson in 1953 at the University of Leeds in England.

Their program included nine to 12 exercises that were performed at moderate intensity for a specified number of repetitions or amount of time. Improvements in muscle strength, endurance and aerobic fitness were noted. The featured study also explained multiple benefits for their HICT workout, including:3

Fat Loss and Weight Loss

HICT involves using multiple large muscles with very little rest between sets, yielding aerobic and metabolic benefits, the latter of which may continue for up to 72 hours after the workout has been completed.

HICT may lead to greater fat loss than typical aerobics or resistance training because it increases levels of catecholamines (which increase resting energy expenditure) and human growth hormone (HGH) in your blood.

Improved VO2 Max

VO2 maxes the maximum amount of oxygen you can take in while exercising. Your VO2 max can be used as a measure of cardiovascular endurance. "When HICT protocols have been compare with traditional steady state protocols in the laboratory, HICT elicits similar and sometimes greater gains in VO2 max despite significantly lower exercise volume," they wrote.4

Decreased Insulin Resistance

Research supports the use of HICT (and HIIT) for reducing insulin resistance, which is a contributing factor in the development of type 2 diabetes. Unfit but otherwise healthy middle-aged adults were able to improve their insulin sensitivity and blood sugar regulation after just two weeks of such training (three sessions per week).5

A follow-up study also found that HIIT positively impacted insulin sensitivity. The study involved people with type 2 diabetes, and just one session was able to improve blood sugar regulation for the next 24 hours.6 Kilka and Jordan added, "Positive changes have been observed in insulin resistance in as little as eight minutes per week when executed at an intensity more than 100 [percent] VO2 max."7

The good news is that your body produces its own glutathione. The bad news is that poor diet, pollution, toxins, medications, stress, trauma, aging, infections and radiation all deplete your glutathione.

This leaves you susceptible to unrestrained cell disintegration from oxidative stress, free radicals, infections and cancer. And your liver gets overloaded and damaged, making it unable to do its job of detoxification.

In treating chronically ill patients with Functional Medicine for more than 10 years, I have discovered that glutathione deficiency is found in nearly all very ill patients. These include people with chronic fatigue syndrome, heart disease, cancer, chronic infections, autoimmune disease, diabetes, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, arthritis, asthma, kidney problems, liver disease and more.

At first I thought that this was just a coincidental finding, but over the years I have come to realize that our ability to produce and maintain a high level of glutathione is critical to recovery from nearly all chronic illness — and to preventing disease and maintaining optimal health and performance. The authors of those 76,000 medical articles on glutathione I mentioned earlier have found the same thing!

So in today’s blog I want to explain what glutathione is, why it’s important and give you 9 tips that will help you optimize your glutathione levels, improve your detoxification system and protect help yourself from chronic illness.

What is Glutathione?

Glutathione is a very simple molecule that is produced naturally all the time in your body. It is a combination of three simple building blocks of protein or amino acids — cysteine, glycine and glutamine.

The secret of its power is the sulfur (SH) chemical groups it contains. Sulfur is a sticky, smelly molecule. It acts like fly paper and all the bad things in the body stick onto it, including free radicals and toxins like mercury and other heavy metals.

Normally glutathione is recycled in the body — except when the toxic load becomes too great. And that explains why we are in such trouble ...

In my practice, I test the genes involved in glutathione metabolism. These are the genes involved in producing enzymes that allow the body to create and recycle glutathione in the body. These genes have many names, such as GSTM1, GSTP1 and more.

These genes impaired in some people for a variety of important reasons. We humans evolved in a time before the 80,000 toxic industrial chemicals found in our environment today were introduced into our world, before electromagnetic radiation was everywhere and before we polluted our skies, lakes, rivers, oceans and teeth with mercury and lead.

That is why most people survived with the basic version of the genetic detoxification software encoded in our DNA, which is mediocre at ridding the body of toxins. At the time humans evolved we just didn’t need more. Who knew we would be poisoning ourselves and eating a processed, nutrient-depleted diet thousands of years later?

Because most of us didn’t require additional detoxification software, almost of half of the population now has a limited capacity to get rid of toxins. These people are missing GSTM1 function — one of the most important genes needed in the process of creating and recycling glutathione in the body.

Nearly all my very sick patients are missing this function. The one-third of our population that suffers from chronic disease is missing this essential gene. That includes me. Twenty years ago I became mercury poisoned and suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome due to this very problem. My GSTM1 function was inadequate and I didn’t produce enough glutathione as a result. Eventually, my body broke down and I became extremely ill ...

This is the same problem I see in so many of my patients. They are missing this critical gene and they descend into disease as a result. Let me explain how this happens ...

The Importance of Glutathione in Protecting Against Chronic Illness

Glutathione is critical for one simple reason: It recycles antioxidants. You see, dealing with free radicals is like handing off a hot potato. They get passed around from vitamin C to vitamin E to lipoic acid and then finally to glutathione which cools off the free radicals and recycles other antioxidants. After this happens, the body can “reduce” or regenerate another protective glutathione molecule and we are back in business.

However, problems occur when we are overwhelmed with too much oxidative stress or too many toxins. Then the glutathione becomes depleted and we can no longer protect ourselves against free radicals, infections, or cancer and we can’t get rid of toxins. This leads to further sickness and soon we are in the downward spiral of chronic illness.

But that’s not all. Glutathione is also critical in helping your immune system do its job of fighting infections and preventing cancer. That’s why studies show that it can help in the treatment of AIDS.(i)

Glutathione is also the most critical and integral part of your detoxification system. All the toxins stick onto glutathione, which then carries them into the bile and the stool — and out of your body.

And lastly, it also helps us reach peak mental and physical function. Research has shown that raised glutathione levels decrease muscle damage, reduce recovery time, increase strength and endurance and shift metabolism from fat production to muscle development.

If you are sick or old or are just not in peak shape, you likely have glutathione deficiency. In fact, the top British medical journal, the Lancet, found the highest glutathione levels in healthy young people, lower levels in healthy elderly, lower still in sick elderly and the lowest of all in the hospitalized elderly. (ii)

Keeping yourself healthy, boosting your performance, preventing disease and aging well depends on keeping your glutathione levels high. I’ll say it again ... Glutathione is so important because it is responsible for keeping so many of the keys to UltraWellness optimized.

It is critical for immune function and controlling inflammation. It is the master detoxifier and the body’s main antioxidant, protecting our cells and making our energy metabolism run well.

And the good news is that you can do many things to increase this natural and critical molecule in your body. You can eat glutathione-boosting foods. You can exercise. And you can take glutathione-boosting supplements. Let’s review more specifics about each.

9 Tips to Optimize your Glutathione Levels

These 9 tips will help you improve your glutathione levels, improve your health, optimize your performance and live a long, healthy life.

2. Try bioactive whey protein. This is great source of cysteine and the amino acid building blocks for glutathione synthesis. As you know, I am not a big fan of dairy. But this is an exception — with a few warnings. The whey protein MUST be bioactive and made from non-denatured proteins (“denaturing” refers to the breakdown of the normal protein structure). Choose non-pasteurized and non-industrially produced milk that contains no pesticides, hormones, or antibiotics. Immunocal is a prescription bioactive non-denatured whey protein that is even listed in the Physician’s Desk Reference.

Exercise for Your Way to More Glutathione

3. Exercise boosts your glutathione levels and thereby helps boost your immune system, improve detoxification and enhance your body’s own antioxidant defenses. Start slow and build up to 30 minutes a day of vigorous aerobic exercise like walking or jogging, or play various sports. Strength training for 20 minutes 3 times a week is also helpful.

Take Glutathione Supporting Supplements

One would think it would be easy just to take glutathione as a pill, but the body digests protein — so you wouldn’t get the benefits if you did it this way. However, the production and recycling of glutathione in the body requires many different nutrients and you CAN take these. Here are the main supplements that need to be taken consistently to boost glutathione. Besides taking a multivitamin and fish oil, supporting my glutathione levels with these supplements is the most important thing I do every day for my personal health.

4. N-acetyl-cysteine. This has been used for years to help treat asthma and lung disease and to treat people with life-threatening liver failure from Tylenol overdose. In fact, I first learned about it in medical school while working in the emergency room. It is even given to prevent kidney damage from dyes used during x-ray studies.

5. Alpha lipoic acid. This is a close second to glutathione in importance in our cells and is involved in energy production, blood sugar control, brain health and detoxification. The body usually makes it, but given all the stresses we are under, we often become depleted.

6. Methylation nutrients (folate and vitamins B6 and B12). These are perhaps the most critical to keep the body producing glutathione. Methylation and the production and recycling of glutathione are the two most important biochemical functions in your body. Take folate (especially in the active form of 5 methyltetrahydrofolate), B6 (in active form of P5P) and B12 (in the active form of methylcobalamin).

7. Selenium. This important mineral helps the body recycle and produce more glutathione.

8. A family of antioxidants including vitamins C and E (in the form of mixed tocopherols), work together to recycle glutathione.

9. Milk thistle (silymarin) has long been used in liver disease and helps boost glutathione levels.

Originally published on JeffreyDachMD.com.

Mainstream medicine may laugh, but this Vitamin C protocol could be the key to a healthy heart.I once had a conversation with a cardiologist friend of mine in which I casually mentioned the Linus Pauling Theory of heart disease, and the subsequent idea that a non-toxic nutritional supplement program with vitamin C and a few amino acids could prevent and reverse heart disease. The response from my cardiologist friend was hearty laughter that anyone would even suggest such a nonsensical idea, and surely you must be joking?

My cardiologist friend and the rest of the mainstream medical system has no clue about the steamroller coming to health care aiming right at the huge profits from diagnosis and treatment of heart disease, a multi billion dollar industry in the US.

The Cardiac Cath Lab and Cardiac Bypass Surgery Program will be flattened, the first casualties of the internet medical information revolution providing information about a safe and cheap supplement program to reverse heart disease called the Linus Pauling Protocol. Time has come for the old dinosaurs to go. In the near future, thanks to Linus Pauling, heart disease will become a curiosity of the past, like the disappearance of gastric ulcers after the invention of antacids and antibiotics.

The Linus Pauling Protocol – Vitamin CVitamin C and Collagen

Vitamin C is required to make a protein called collagen. The lack of Vitamin C is a deficiency disease called Scurvy.Why is Collagen Important ?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body. It is the structural protein used to make connective tissues, bones, teeth, hair, and arteries. Strong collagen is important for a strong body.

Full Blown Scurvy – Collagen Falls ApartIn the full blown Vitamin C deficiency disease called Scurvy, the structural elements of the body literally fall apart. Collagen is broken down and not replaced. The joints wear out, the small arteries begin to crack and degenerate, the skin shows easy bruising and bleeding as small vessels rupture throughout the body, and the teeth may loosen and fall out.

Linus Pauling was unquestionably the greatest scientist of the twentieth century. All of modern biochemistry and molecular biology chemistry is based on Linus Pauling’s work, especially his discovery and elucidation of the chemical bond. Pauling is the only scientist to be awarded two unshared Nobel prizes. Above image microscopic view of collagen fibers.

Pauling’s later years were devoted to heart disease, and in 1989 he published “A Unified Theory of Human Cardiovascular Disease,” in which he states that atherosclerotic plaques in heart disease are actually part of a repair process, to repair the arterial damage caused by chronic vitamin C deficiency.

In essence, Pauling said that heart disease is a manifestation of chronic scurvy, and atherosclerotic plaque is a mechanism evolved to repair or patch blood vessels and arteries damaged by chronic vitamin C deficiency. Linus Pauling also said that atherosclerotic plaque formation can be prevented or reversed with vitamin C, lysine and proline. These are nutritional supplements available at any health food store for a few dollars.

Atherosclerotic Plaques Contain LipoProtein (a)

Plaque deposits found in human aortas are made up of a form of cholesterol called lipoprotein (a) also called Lp(a).

Atherosclerotic Plaques Are Found at Maximal Mechanical StressAtherosclerotic plaques are not found randomly distributed throughout the arterial tree, rather distribution is restricted to sites of high mechanical stress such as bifurcations, and areas of motion such as the surface of the heart (coronary arteries). In the early 1950’s, a Canadian, G. C. Willis, MD, made these same observations, and they have been confirmed by 60 years of coronary and peripheral arteriography at major medical centers.(1-4)

Exposed Lysine Crosslinks from Damaged Collagen is Site of LipoProtein (a) attachment and Plaque FormationImagine stepping on your garden hose a thousand times a day. You will soon notice cracks in the wall of the garden hose. This is the same process that happens in the artery. As these cracks open up, the collagen strands in the wall of the artery are teased apart. The triple helix collagen strands are normally bound together with lysine crosslinks which are now teased apart and exposed to the circulating blood stream.

Linus Pauling Heart Disease Prevention with Vitamin C

The Lysine residues look like little flags waving from the damaged collagen strand. The exposed Lysine strands are available for binding to circulating Lipoprotein (a), a special form of cholesterol that has lysine receptors, and is known to increase heart disease risk. This attachment of lipoprotein(a) to the free lysine residues of damaged collagen initiates the atherosclerotic process. Over time, this process builds larger plaque deposits which eventually narrow the inner diameter of the artery causing a blockage, or leads to plaque rupture and thrombosis, a catastrophic event which may cause heart attack or sudden death.

Animal experiments in genetically modified mice which have “knocked out” the lysine binding sites on lipoprotein (a) show a fivefold reduction in atherosclerotic plaque formation.

Can You Make Vitamin C ? No You Can’tLinus Pauling Heart Disease Prevention with Vitamin C

We humans cannot make vitamin C in our liver as all other animals do. We humans had a genetic mutation in our ancestry 50 million years ago which “knocked out” the final enzyme in the hepatic synthesis of vitamin C. The missing enzyme is called GLO (gulano lactone oxidase). Primates such as gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans also share this same GLO mutation and cannot make vitamin C. In addition all primates share with humans susceptibility to heart disease. Above Image Vitamin C, a simple ring structure similar to glucose, Ascorbate Courtesy of Wikimedia

All Animals Can Make Vitamin C, but Gorillas, chimps,orangutans and the Guinea Pig Can’t

Except for humans and primates, all other animals have the three enzymes in the liver which can synthesize vitamin C from glucose (a simple sugar). One major exception is the guinea pig, which is really a rodent and not a pig, The guinea pig, for some unexplained reason, shares with humans the identical GLO genetic mutation and also lacks the GLO enzyme just like we do. This makes the guinea pig an ideal experimental model for human diseases. By the way, although animals that make vitamin C never get heart disease, the guinea pig which lacks the ability to synthesize vitamin C, also gets heart disease.

Animals That Make Vitamin C, Don’t Get Atherosclerotic Heart Disease

I though this was worth repeating. (note: here I am referring to atherosclerotic vascular heart disease in animals. Dogs and Cats DO succumb to other common types of heart disease such as cardiomyopathy and heart worm etc.)

Animals That Don’t Make Vitamin C, Do Get Atherosclerotic Heart Disease

This should be starting to become clear now.

Animal Scientific Support for the Pauling Unified TheoryAs mentioned above, guinea pigs are especially well suited to study atherosclerosis because guinea pigs are unable to make their own vitamin C, and in addition, they develop atherosclerotic plaques similar to those found in humans.

G. C. Willis, a Canadian doctor, conducted research with guinea pigs in the 1950’s showing that guinea pigs deprived of dietary vitamin C developed atherosclerotic plaques, while guinea pigs given plentiful vitamin C were protected. In addition,guinea pigs fed a vitamin C deficient diet had elevated Lipoprotein (a) levels along with the increased atherosclerotic plaque formation in the arteries.

Optometrist, Dr. Sydney Bush’s retinal artery observations support the Pauling theory. Using modern equipment to non-invasively photograph the retinal arteries of the eye before and after Vitamin C supplementation in humans, Dr. Bush has documented reversal of atherosclerotic plaque with Vitamin C supplementation.(link) Unfortunately, Dr Sidney Bush’s discoveries were not well received. His optometry license was revoked in 1993. Dr Bush’s slide presentation at a 2013 medical meeting can be viewed here.

Why no drug company sponsored double blind placebo controlled studies? Since there are no patents involved for natural supplements, and no drugs involved, no drug company would ever invest the 250 million dollars to fund such a study with no potential for financial return.

The Physician’s Health Study – Don’t Waste Your Money On Vitamins !!Using public funds, the NIH (National Institute of Health) funded a large study called The Physicians’ Health Study II which evaluated Vitamins C and E in heart disease and was published Nov. 9, 2008 in JAMA by Howard D. Sesso. The study found that Vitamin C and E did not prevent mortality from heart disease, results which are completely opposite to massive previously published research and anecdotal case reports.

A closer look shows a few glaring errors in study design.

The Linus Pauling Protocol was not followed. The dosage of vitamin C was set too low, at one tenth the dosage recommended by the Linus Pauling protocol, and lysine was not provided. While the Sesso study showed no mortality benefit, many previous studies such as the Enstrom Study showed a striking 40% reduction in all-cause mortality over 6 years from the same 500 mg daily vitamin C dosage. The Paul Knecht study showed a 25% reduction in Heart Disease risk with daily 700 mg Vitamin C. Two previous studies from Japan and Finland showed that Vitamin C reduces risk for stroke, another atherosclerotic disease. There are many more like these.

Since favorable results would be financially destructive to the drug and hospital industries, a cynic might suggest that vested interests were at work in Sesso’s study intending to discredit vitamin C (as documented many times in the past with examples of corporate influence in medical research). (21) It is not difficult to design a medical study to fail. I regard this as merely another example of the information war waged by corporate mainstream medicine against natural medicine.

Linus Pauling Protocol For Prevention and Reversal of PlaqueIf heart disease is chronic scurvy, caused by chronic vitamin C deficiency, then it makes sense to supplement with vitamin C in the amounts needed to make strong collagen and prevent arterial damage from mechanical stress.

In addition, Pauling devised a clever yet simple method to address the issue of Lipoprotein (a) attaching to the lysine residues on the damaged collagen fibers in the arterial wall. He recommended supplementing with 2-4 grams of lysine per day. The additional lysine in the blood stream attaches to the receptor sites on the lipoprotein (a) molecules, inactivating the lipoprotein(a) and preventing it from attaching to the arterial wall. This prevents the initiation of the atherosclerotic process. In addition, Vitamin C and Lysine are both important precursors for building strong collagen which makes strong arteries. In addition to Lysine, some of the collagen cross-linking is done with another amino acid called Proline, so proline was also added to the treatment protocol.

Where to Read About the Linus Pauling Protocol:Linus Pauling Heart Disease Prevention with Vitamin C

Owen Fonorow is perhaps the single most dedicated person devoted to the 1992 Linus Pauling Protocol for prevention and reversal of heart disease.(link) A patent for the Linus Pauling Protocol was issued in 1994.(link) In 1996, a CAT scan coronary calcium score study validated the protocol showing a 15% reversal of calcification indicating reversal of coronary artery disease.(link) Another excellent book on the subject of Vitamin C and heart disease is, Stop America’s #1 Killer by Thomas Levy MD, JD. 2006 (left image). To read more on the Linus Pauling Protocol, see this short four page booklet by Owen Fonorow.(link) Or, read this excellent article by English and Cass.(link)

What is the Linus Pauling Protocol?

L-Ascorbate (Vitamin C) 5-6 grams a day in divided dosesL-Lysine 5 grams a day in divided dosesL-Proline 2-3 grams a day in divided dosesTocotrienols Vitamin E 200 mg /d

These supplements can be obtained at any the health food store as tablets or capsules for 40 to 50 dollars a month.

Tower Labs Ascorcine 9A convenient powder containing all the combined ingredients for the Linus Pauling Protocol is called Ascorsine 9 and from Tower Laboratories. This is a good choice for anyone serious about preventing heart disease looking for an easy product with everything in it.

Vitamin E, Good or Bad, Yes or No, Blessing or Curse?Steve Hickey and Hilary Roberts come right out on page 167 of their book, and make the statement, “Vitamin C and Tocotrienols can reverse coronary artery disease”. They would add the Tocotrienol form of Vitamin E to the Linus Pauling Protocol. Regarding heart disease, and atherosclerotic vascular disease, the authors state that “on the available evidence, the combination of Vitamin C and Tocotrienols could be curative with no known harmful effects.”

Opposition to the Linus Pauling Protocol by Mainstream MedicineIf you are facing the prospects of coronary artery bypass surgery , you might ask the obvious question: Why hasn’t my cardiologist told me about this information and started me on the Linus Pauling Protocol?

Linus Pauling Heart Disease Prevention with Vitamin C

Most cardiologists either don’t know about it or ignore it because of the information war going on between mainstream medicine and natural medicine. Cardiologists read medical journals which regularly run incorrect and biased articles.It is also worth noting that eating raw carrots is also one of the best ways to get this vitamin.A medium sized carrot has up to 50 times more vitamin c than an orange and also less fructose.Of course we all know about the incredible Vitamin D and awesome qualities of garlic.

JM: This is one of the most important video interviews I believe you’ll ever see. Hi, this is Dr.Mercola helping you take control of your health. Today, we are joined by Dr. Alexander Wunschfrom Germany. He is really a world class expert, one of the best I know of, in photobiology.We’re going to talk about the dangers, the hidden stealth dangers, of light-emitting diode (LED)lighting that you most likely are not aware of. Welcome and thank you for joining us today, Dr.Wunsch.AW: Hi, Dr. Mercola.JM: I’m really excited for this interview. We had an interview a few years ago, and I knew youwere brilliant in this area but I just wasn’t smart enough to understand the implications of whatyou had to teach. I’ve actually grown wiser since our last interview, and I’m really excited aboutyou sharing with us all the important information you have that can get us up to speed in thisarea.Because – let me just give a brief summary and then we’ll dialogue – but briefly, largely as aresult of energy efficiency, there’s been a major transition to using LED as a primary lightsource. And it works, it works on steroids. Literally, it has a 90 to 95 percent reduction in energypower because the older incandescent thermal analogs sources of lighting generate a lot of theirlight as heat. Most of us believe that was inefficient and wasteful. But it turns out that heat isactually infrared radiation and may be very beneficial for us. Yes, it costs a little bit more but itmight be hugely beneficial.

There are some major downsides about LED lighting that we just don’t appreciate. I know Ididn’t. I was massively exposed to this. This may be one of the most important, non-native EMFradiation exposures that each and every one of us has. If we don’t take control of this, we arelooking at some very, very serious long-term complications, the least of which is age-relatedmacular degeneration, which is the leading cause of blindness in the United States, and thencataracts, of course, too, and other foundational mitochondrial dysfunction components.What we want to focus on today are the dangers of LED lighting.

Why don’t you — I sort ofpainted the broad canvas there, Dr. Wunsch — if you could give us some backgroundinformation that will help us get up to speed on some of the foundations we need to understandto appreciate the dangers of this. Obviously, we’ll focus on the last part of this interview withpractical things that we can implement.AW: How to begin in this large field? The first question we should raise is, “What is light?” It’snot so easy to give an answer to this question, “What is light?” Do we take into account only what our eyes can directly perceive? Then we are in line with the standards, which are applied toour artificial light sources at the moment, which means there is a definition.Light is only between 400 nanometers and 780 nanometers or so. This is even shrunk down to420 to 630 nanometers U2 efficiency reason. There is much more about light. It’s more thanvision. When we look at the sunlight, we have a much broader spectral range, from somewherearound 300 nanometers up to 2,000 nanometers or so.

For our energy efficiency calculation, it makes a big difference if we are talking about this broadnatural range or if we are only talking about what our eyes directly are able to transmit in termsof vision performance. And so, it was kind of preset, given in the 1930s, the definition that weare only looking at the visible part of the spectrum. This led to the development of energyefficientlight sources like the fluorescent lamps or what we have nowadays, the LED lightsources, because they are only energy efficient as long as you take the visible part of thespectrum.

If we would say, for example, red light for therapy from red light lamps can be used in medicaltherapy to increase blood circulation, and this is a part we are taking away as long as we onlylook at the visible part. Physicists think that infrared radiation is just thermal waste. But from theviewpoint of a physician, this is absolutely not true, because in the last 30 years there have beenhundreds and hundreds of scientific papers being published on the beneficial aspects of a certainpart in the spectrum, which is called near-infrared or infrared-A.You cannot feel it as heat, and you cannot see it. It’s a kind of hidden treasure in the spectralrange.

This is what I think we have to look at if we want to understand where the differencebetween the artificial light sources, the non-thermal artificial light sources, and natural artificiallight sources like the incandescent lamp.JM: Excuse me for a moment. I just want a point of clarification here. I’m certainly confused,and I believe a lot of others are. When we talk about infrared radiation, is that both near and farinfrared, and what are the wavelengths of that? After you answer that question, if you canperhaps start to explain the difference between analog and digital forms of light sources, becauseI think that is a really important part of this whole reason that massively factors into thecomplexity of understanding the scope of this problem or the magnitude of the issue.

AW: We have to discriminate the analog and digital problem from the spectral problem, whichconcerns these modern light sources. You asked about clarification with regard to the infraredradiation. When you look at the rainbow spectrum, the visible part ends in the red and theinfrared-A or the so-called near-infrared begins. Then we have infrared-B and we have infraredC.In another terminology, there is near-infrared, there is mid-infrared, and there is far-infrared.What we normally would expect from infrared radiation is that we feel the heat, that we feelwarm. But this does not apply to the infrared-A, which is the wavelength part between 700nanometers and 1,500 nanometers.JM: Wow.AW: Here you have no absorption by water molecules, and this is the reason why radiation has avery high transmittance. In other words, it penetrates very deeply into the tissue, so the energydistributes in a large tissue volume. This near-infrared A is not heating up the tissue so you willnot feel directly any effect of heat.

This significantly changes when we increase the wavelength, let’s say, to 2,000 nanometers.Here we are in the infrared-B range and this already is felt as heat. And from 3,000 nanometerson to the longer wavelength, we have almost full absorption mainly by the water molecule andthis is heating up. So from a lake in spring, it will heat up in the upper inches and still the wateris quite cool down below. This is the kind of natural proof that the longer wavelengths are moreor less totally absorbed and transformed the light energy into thermal energy, which is the watermolecule movement.[-----10:00-----]JM: Thank you for that clarification. That greatly helps to clear certainly my confusion, and Isuspect many others, when you differentiated that. I didn’t realize the near-infrared had such awide spectrum, 700 to 1,000 nanometers. Maybe if you can touch on – before going to the analogversus digital discussion – a bit about the importance of the infrared for health, and maybe wecould even go into the retina and how it works with respect to priming the cells for repair andregeneration. And really, almost forming this justification to switch with – one of ourrecommendations at the end is going to be switch back to incandescents, which is an energy hogadmittedly, takes up maybe 20 times as much energy as these energy-efficient LEDs. But it’s notwasted energy. It’s actually coming out in wavelengths that are actually helping your health.Can you describe at a biological level what happens when we’re exposed to these wavelengthsfrom incandescent bulbs or solar radiation from the near-infrared, and how it helps restructure ata molecular basis, our mitochondria, what happens in the retina, and – the other light source I’veneglected to mention was infrared saunas. We can have a discussion on that too.

AW: The first question we have to ask is, “What molecules are we addressing?” or what otherso-called – In photobiology, you call these molecules chromophores. These are molecules whichare capable of absorbing exactly the wavelength you are emitting with the light source.The first aspect is that we have to consider that there is a so-called optical tissue window, whichranges from 600 nanometers to 1,400 nanometers. So it’s almost completely covered by theinfrared-A part of the spectrum. This optical tissue window allows the radiation to penetratedeeply into the tissue. When I say deeply, I’m not talking about a millimeter or two. I’m talkingabout several centimeters or at least an inch or even more. The chromophores in the tissue, whichabsorb the light energy are – a part of these chromophores is found in the mitochondria and theother part of the water molecules, which are specifically activated. Not in terms of heat radiation,of chaotic molecular movement.

The water molecules are specifically addressed.For example, in the realm of membranes in the exclusion zone, which covers, like sheets, themicroanatomical structures within the cells. Talking about the mitochondria first, here we have a specific molecule, which is called cytochrome c oxidase. This molecule is involved in the energyproduction within the mitochondria.Energy for cells means adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the end product of the correlationof the energy production. This is the fuel that our cells need for almost anything, most formotility, for transporting of ions, for synthesizing products, for metabolism. The ATPproduction, if it would stop now at the moment, I could survive for another 12 to 15 seconds. Mybody produces about 85 kilograms of ATP in 24 hours.

JM: Okay. Let’s stop there, because I’ve watched many of your videos in English. You havemany more in German. I can tell you that you provide so much information in your videos that Ihave to watch them three, four, five times. Because you just state things as facts, which is fine,it’s just your presentation style. But that is a phenomenally important statement. I’m not going tolet that escape and just let people not appreciate what that is. But 85 kilograms or — that’s yourbody weight — we produce in, whatever we weigh in pounds or kilograms, we produce thatamount in ATP.

It’s just an extraordinary statistic but most people are clueless about. It’s a really importantconcept and the other thing that you mentioned is that, yes, literally we can last about 15 secondswithout ATP, 15 seconds. We can go four minutes, or we can go maybe 8 or 10 minutes, withoutoxygen. We can go a few days without water. We can go for months without food. But 15seconds without ATP, that’s the important thing. That’s why we want to focus on this becauselight is such an important misunderstood part of the equation for energy production, specificallyat the mitochondrial ATP level. I’m sorry for interrupting you, but I just wanted to emphasizethat because it’s really important.

AW: No, no, it was definitely important to highlight this because the cytochrome c oxidase,which is this absorbing molecule, is the last step before the ATP is finally produced in themitochondria. Here we have this tipping point where light in a wavelength range between 570nanometers and 850 nanometers is able to boost the energy production, especially in cells whenenergy production is depleted.Here we have one important mechanism where this long wavelength part of the spectrum wherethe near-infrared light is bolstering the energy situation in our mitochondria. And we know todaythat many signs of aging, for example, they really are the consequence of hamperedmitochondrial functioning, and so we have a very interesting and still soft tool to enhance theenergy status in our cells, in the mitochondria in our cells, and not only on the surface but also inthe depths, regions and areas, of the tissue. This is one important aspect and there are hundredsof papers published on these positive effects.

You can see it in, for example, wound healing, you can see it in anti-aging procedures. There aremany applications developed in the meantime where we use this optical tissue window, and weshine through this optical tissue window light in the range, which cannot be found in standardgeneral lighting appliances like LEDs or fluorescent lamps. The cytochrome c oxidase isresponsible for an increased production of ATP. This means in turn that the cell, which has betterenergy supply, is definitely able to perform better. So the liver cell with more ATP will be able to detoxify the body much better.

The fibroblast in the skin will be able to synthesize morecollagen fibers and so on, and so on. This is one important brick in the wall.JM: Let me expand on that brick for a moment if I can. This is information that you shared insome of your recorded videos online that we’ll have a link to. That literally astounded me. Imean I literally almost fell down when I heard this because I couldn’t believe it. We had adiscussion about this previously and you confirmed that it was true. This is an important tangentto the point that you’ve just mentioned.[-----20:00-----]It’s all about energy production. What I didn’t appreciate until I heard it from you, is that maybeonly one-third, a measly third, of our energy that we produce – and obviously one of those isATP – comes from the food that we eat. The electrons that are transferred from the food,primarily the fats and the carbohydrates, are ultimately transferred to oxygen and generate thatATP. But only one-third of the energy comes from that. The rest, two-thirds or so, comes fromthis light exposure. And if you’re exposed to LED lights, as you just mentioned – but again,people may [inaudible 20:36] – LEDs don’t have that frequency from 500 to, I believe, 800nanometers, which is the near-infrared primarily that hit the cytochrome c oxidase and generatethe energy of the ATP. Can you expand on that? Because I think virtually no one has thisappreciation.

AW: Yeah. I think we have to differentiate between the metabolically used energy, whichdefinitely comes from food intake. But there is a thermodynamic aspect to it as well. When youthink about the body temperature – I don’t know how much it is in Fahrenheit, but in Celsius (Ican tell you in Celsius), it’s 37 degrees. And I can tell you in Kelvin, this is 310 [degrees] Kelvin– to keep up this body temperature. It’s not only the result of burning carbohydrates in themitochondria using the oxygen.JM: Just for a moment, the 37 degrees centigrade or Celsius that you’ve mentioned is basicallybody temperature, which is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.AW: 90.6?JM: 98.6.AW: 98.6. Okay. This is what I have to learn for the Americans.JM: Yeah. The Americans. I mean these Americans are still on the imperial measurementsystem for the most part, but the rest of the world is on Celsius.

AW: To maintain this body temperature, it’s not only the result of energy production in themitochondria. The heat in our body comes in part from the mitochondria, but the major partcomes from longer wavelengths in the infrared range, and comes from near-infrared for example,because the near-infrared radiation in sunlight is very present, in incandescent lamp light as well. This radiation, this energy, this photonic energy, is able to even pass through our clothingbecause this is one important property of infrared radiation, that it just goes deep and it goesthrough like the terahertz radiation at the airport scanner, and so on. The radiation can enter thebody and then will be transformed into longer wavelengths in the infrared part. They are veryimportant for supporting the temperature level, of the thermal energy level, of our body which is,for all the mammals, a very crucial aspect. A lot of energy comes in the form of radiation andthis is supporting our thermal balance more or less.

JM: Okay, good. It’s still a little confusing. You had mentioned earlier, there were some Germanstudies that are 60 years old that actually support this concept. The key point to take home here isthat it’s not just the food you eat, it’s the energy exposure that’s going to run your metabolismand you need to get that. That’s why exposure to sunlight is so healthy. It’s one of the hiddenkeys and many people interested in natural health will at least acknowledge and recommend it.It’s part of the recommendations. It’s far more important than you can ever imagine.We’re only going to be touching the surface of why it is important today. But we do want to keepour promise and focus on the LED wavelengths. The dangers of LED lighting, which is really amessage that has to be shared, we have to sound the trumpets on this one because no onevirtually understands this. They get it at night, they shouldn’t be exposed to this at night, but it’sfar more than at night. And part of the problem is the analog versus digital mode ofadministration of that light. Could you discuss with us the difference between analog and digitallighting?

AW: You probably remember the dimmer we had in former days when we used the incandescentlamp to just dim the intensity. This is something which will not work in the same way with LEDlamps. Many of the actual LED lamps are not dimmable anyway because they function kind ofdifferent.If you reduce, for example, for a color changing system you have three different LEDs, a red, agreen, and a blue LED, and the intensity of these three colored channels has to be changed inorder to achieve different color use, which are perceived by the eye in the end. The control of theintensity output of an LED is realized in a digital manner because it’s very difficult to have a lowintensity in many different steps.The dimming of LEDs is realized by a so-called pulse-width modulation, which means the LEDsswitch on to the full intensity and then they fully switch off, and then they switch on again. Sowe have the constant on and off in frequencies, which are higher than our eyes are able todiscriminate. But on the cellular level, at least it is still perceivable for the cells. This switchingon and off of the LEDs, this is something – you can compare this with the digital states of fullyon, which is the one, and zero, fully-off.

This is the way how the LEDs are normally controlled in the intensity, for example also, thebacklight illumination of your computer screens or of your TV sets, this causes a flicker, whichis not perceivable for let’s say 90 percent of the population. But it’s still biologically active. Andflicker is something that is very harmful to our system because when you think back to thecathodes ray tubes TVs – we call them “flimmerkiste” in Germany, this means “flicker boxes.”When you nowadays are in contact with an old TV set, you might become aware of this intenseflicker, because your system in the meantime is trained to look into modern flat screens, whichdo not flicker in this harsh and crude frequency. This demonstrates that our brain is able to filterout the flicker after a certain while. But this takes a lot of calculation energy in our system. If wehave light, which does not flicker like, for example, the incandescent lamp has metal filamentand it’s glowing, so this is very lazy. It’s not able to transmit the highest flicker frequencies incomparison to what the LEDs could transmit. We have even developments where scientists try totransmit information via high-frequency flicker in the LED lighting in the room in order toreplace the wireless LAN system, and I think this is really not a good idea.[-----30:00-----]

I call these LEDs – I like to call them Trojan horses because they appear so practical to us. Theyappear to have so many advantages. They save energy; they are solid state, very robust, forexample. So we invited them into our homes. But we are not aware that they have hiddenproperties, which are harmful to our system, harmful to our mental health, harmful to our retinalhealth, and also harmful to our hormonal health or endocrine health.JM: They weren’t even necessarily invited. These are being mandated by federal policy. Notonly in the United States, but as I understand, in much of Europe, in an attempt to conserveenergy. And they’ve been effective. I mean from that perspective, we can’t just argue with themthat this has been an incredibly effective, energy-saving strategy but it’s just absolutely ignoredthe impact, as you’re starting to discuss, the biological health.Maybe you can expand on that, the biological health implications, and then I really want to spenda good portion of the next discussion to the practical take-home recommendations. Becausethere’s a lot – once you understand the basics – there’s a lot of things that you need to implementto have a personal strategy to circumvent the dangers that each and every one of you watchingthis are exposed to.

AW: In order to clarify the dangers in principle, I think it’s a good idea to express, again, that theLED, the light emitted from an LED, has not the same quality you would expect from a naturallight source. A natural light source normally is a black body radiator, which gives off all kinds ofwavelengths in a more or less continuous manner. The LEDs we have nowadays are fluorescentlamps, they consist of a blue LED, a driver LED, and a fluorescent sheet, which covers the blueLED and transforms part of the blue light into longer wavelengths, yellowish light. Theyellowish light from the fluorescent layer combines together with the residual blue light to a kindof whitish light, which consists of a lot portion of aggressive blue light.

Blue has the highest energy in the visible part of the spectrum, and produces, infuses, theproduction of reactive oxygen species, of oxidative stress. The blue light causes oxidative stressin the tissue, and this stress has to be counteracted. We need even more regeneration from bluelight, but the regenerative part of the spectrum is not found in the blue, in the short wavelength,part. It’s found in the long wavelength part, in the red and the near-infrared. So tissue regeneration and tissue repair results from the wavelength, which are not present in an LEDspectrum.We have increased stress on the short wavelength part and we have reduced regeneration andrepair on the long wavelength part. This is the main problem. Diseases come apart in a way ourorganism is not accommodated to, because we don’t have this kind of light quality in nature.This has consequences, the stress has consequences, in the retina. It has consequences in ourendocrine system.

What I think we know, or many of us know, in the meantime that the blue light in the eveningreduces the melatonin production in the pineal glands. But for example, we have also cells in ourretina, in our eyeball, which are responsible for producing melatonin in order to regenerate theretina during the night. If we use LED lights after sunset, we reduce the regenerative andrestoring capacities of our eyes. If we have less regeneration, we open the door to degeneration.This is the age-related macular degeneration you were talking [about] before.JM: Yes, indeed. Thank you for that explanation. I really appreciate it. I just wanted to get intosome of the details of the dangers of the LED, and maybe just summarize what you justmentioned, in that these LED digital light sources are primarily focused in the blue wavelengths.They have very little red in them, certainly virtually no infrared. And it’s this red infrared that’srepair and regeneration mode. If you provide these aggressive lower frequencies, the blue lights,they create these reactive oxygen species which can’t be – the damage from them – I mean, weneed that. Let’s not say that all those reactive oxygen species are dangerous. They’re not.Because that’s what’s important.

I think we don’t have enough time to discuss the importance of setting your circadian rhythm andexposing yourself to balanced blue light that’s not only has the blue but also has the near-infraredand the far-infrared, like in the morning. That sets our circadian rhythm. You need that. But thedamage that somebody, by the blue light, is balanced by the red and infrared so it can repair andregenerate, and everything is just the way it was meant and designed to be.I’m wondering – because there’s a whole range of LED lights out there, we’re going to step nowa little bit into what you can do with this knowledge. Are there – and many people had thisquestion – you can get cool white, which is the high blue light LEDs which are bright whiteversus the warm white LEDs. I’m wondering if you can – if there are types of LEDs that do havesome of the red and the near-infrared in them or they just don’t exist? And another version of thisquestion, are there any healthy LEDs?AW: Well, there’s no easy answer to that.

JM: Like most good questions.AW: Because when you bought an incandescent lamp, you exactly knew everything about thespectral distribution, for example. You knew that after a thousand hours that it would fail, itwould break, stop functioning. JM: Let me just interrupt you for a moment on this, because there’s an interesting component.Everyone knows that the old incandescent bulbs fail in 1,000 hours. That, folks, is by design.There’s a movie – a documentary out there. These bulbs can last a hundred years continuously ifthey designed it that way. It’s designed to fail in a thousand hours. I’m sorry for interrupting. Ijust thought it was an interesting tangent.

AW: With the LEDs, everything is different because there are LEDs outside there where youhave high portions of blue in a warm-appearing light, because the blue is masked by highamounts of yellow and orange. There are also LEDs available with lower portion in the blue,which are very close to the spectral distribution of incandescent lamps with regard to the bluishpart of the spectrum. It is impossible to tell without measurement. This is the problem with anincandescent lamp. You knew what you would get.With LED, the layman is not able to tell if it’s a tailored spectrum where you have the blue partonly masked by excessive parts of other spectral regions. There are different technologies. Youwere sending me a question, I think yesterday, with regards to a specific company, whichproduces LEDs with a different technology.

[-----40:00-----]Soraa, for example, they have violet driver LED, not blue but violet driver LED. And theyachieved, by their technology, the red is a little bit more emphasized compared to the standardwhite light fluorescent LEDs. So there are in fact better and worse LED types around. But thespectral distribution is just one thing, what the customer could use as a kind of information if thecolor rendering index, but not the color rendering index are A, which only covers the first eighttesting colors.We are interested in the R9 which represents the full reds. And this is sometimes, thisinformation is sometimes given on the package that you have for example, nCRI which is thecolor rendering index of 95 with an R9 of 97 or so. This is the only sign for the customer thatyou have a high level or a high index for the R9.

JM: Okay. That is the key thing. Maybe we should have discussed that earlier because these aretwo important pieces of information you need to understand when you’re looking at lighting.One is the CRI you mentioned, the color rendering index. But it should be the r9. And ideally,the goal standard is the sunlight, and that’s 100.AW: The incandescent is 100, and the candle is 100.JM: Yes. So that’s the best. Now you’re never going to get that – well maybe never, but you’renot going to get it through an LED or halogens – not halogens but fluorescents. You got to knowthat. The other is the color temperature, which is the incandescence 2,700 Kelvin and then 6,500degrees Kelvin for the LEDs, which is the really bright white LED. Why don’t you talk aboutthat? I guess if you use those two metrics, you can identify healthy lighting. But then we’d stillhave to address the analog versus digital component. We don’t want to be screwing up our cellsby getting them these digital signals that they were never designed to be exposed to.

AW: You would have to measure somehow if the LED produces flicker or not. Two years ago,three years ago, it would have been much easier because the camera of an elder smartphone wasnot so high-tech equipped as they are today. With an old smartphone camera, when you look intothe light source, you can see these wandering lines, so you can detect if the light source isflickering.

What else could be a kind of work-around is the slow-mo mode of a smartphone camera, if youfilm the light source with the slow-mo modus, then you might also see the switching on and offof the light source, just in slow-mo. This is one thing that works sometimes quite well. But itdepends on the type of the smartphone camera that you are using. Because the cameras in themeantime, they have an algorithm implemented, which detect the flicker frequency and the lightand then changes the shutter frequency of the camera in order to avoid these interferences. So thecameras in the meantime are made in a way that they block out the flicker even if it’s there.JM: Excellent. Can you maybe touch on the color temperature of the lighting source? Becausethat seems to be another useful tool. Or is it too complex a topic?

AW: The color temperature, in fact, is a useful tool to fool the customer because there are twodifferent kinds of color temperature. The one is the physical color temperature, which meansyour light source has exactly the temperature in Kelvin. This applies to the sunlight. This appliesto the candlelight. This applies to the incandescent lamp light, halogen, and standardincandescent. These light sources are truly that hot, so if the color temperature is 5,500 Kelvinfor the sun for example, the sun’s surface is 5,500 Kelvin hot. You cannot reach higher coloredtemperatures using incandescent lamps in 3,000 Kelvin because otherwise the metal of thefilament would melt and evaporate, so this will not work. There is a kind of natural limit givenby technology.The other type of color temperature is the correlated color temperature. This means you calculatea lot until you can tell this light source might appear to the human eye in a similar way than lightsource with a true color temperature of, let’s say, 2,700 Kelvin. This is the problem because youcan tailor the color temperature however you want to. For example, you have probably seenthese filament LED lamps. In the meantime, they are entering the market and they look verysimilar like the standard incandescent lamp because they have these very thin and elongated LEDfilaments installed inside. Do you know what I’m talking about?JM: Sure.

AW: Have you seen them? If you look into these with a grey filter, with a strong grey filter, youcan see that you have three cold white LEDs on the screen and then one red LED. Then anotherthree cold white LEDs and one red LED. In fact, this is a cold white light source. But by theadditional red LEDs which are integrated into the filament, our eye, and also the measuringinstrument, as a result, this appears to be a warmer light. But in fact, on a cellular level and onthe level of the retina, the majority of the light is still bluish white, cold white.

This is the problem with the correlated color temperature, that you have a lot of tricks to tailorthe value in a way that you still are using cold white light sources, that you’ve masked the light in a way that it appears warmer to the human eye. But the impact on the physiology is still thesame, or more or less the same, as you would expect from a cold white source.JM: You’ve got two things. You’ve got that sort of metrical – not metrical but transition – ordeceptive solution or interpretation of the data that these companies are providing. And you alsohave the digital component, so the LEDs really are not in any way, shape, or form a healthybiological form of life.Let’s talk about solutions now and focus on them. Let me first mention that a lot of what I’msharing with you is based on mistakes. I’m one of the early technology adopters, and I was oneof the first people to really switch out all of my incandescent bulbs for LED lighting.

[-----50:00-----]When they first came out, it was at least almost 10 years ago now that I had switched over toLEDs, and before that fluorescent lights, full-spectrum fluorescent, which is another deceptionname. If we have time, I want to talk about that.But what we want to focus on now is that literally, the danger. There’s no question there’sdanger in LED light exposure all the time of the day, but it’s a relative one, so that if you’reexposed to LED light and there’s lots of biological full-spectrum sunlight through the windows –which is a whole other issue too, that we can talk about because sunlight outside and through thewindow are two different animals – but if you have that as a component, it’s not as biologicallydangerous because I believe that that compensates specially with the higher frequencies and thesunlight. But it becomes really dangerous at night.

From this perspective, I haven’t changed out all of my lights back to incandescent becausethey’re such energy hogs and really the only ones that I use at night because I have a big houseand there’s lots of lights and people, contractors and stuff, come over all the time. They leavelights on all the time. It would be crazy. That’s just a magnificent and extraordinary waste ofenergy if they did that. But I never use these lights. I just leave them in there.

But the ones you use all the time that you really, really – this is the take home message of thispresentation – is that you have got to switch back to incandescents. And not just anyincandescents, these are incandescents that are clear transparent outer bulb. Not the ones that arecoated with white to keep a cool white light. You don’t want that. You want the 2,700 degreeKelvin incandescent, thermal analog, energy source of that light. It’s the only light you use atnight.We’re going to insert some of these graphics that you have in your PowerPoint slides that reallypowerfully illustrate the color spectrum of an incandescent, which has very small levels of blue. Imean it’s extraordinary. There’s some, but there’s not hardly any blue light in that, which isexactly what you want at night. You do not want blue light exposure.Now personally, it’s the only light that I use after sunset. Even then, once the sun goes down, Iput on my blue blockers. I neglected to keep them here now because it’s the middle of the day, I wouldn’t put them on. I call them reverse sunglasses. I don’t care what company you get themfrom. You can get them for under 10 dollars. You can get them and spend 100 dollars for them.Get whatever you like. But the moment the sun goes down, these blue blockers go on even ifthere’s incandescent sources. That’s my summary, and I’m wondering if you can expand andreally amplify those comments.

AW: It is definitely a good idea to keep away the short wavelengths in the evening, so aftersunset, as you said. And it’s also a good idea not to intoxicate your environment with too muchlight. We know in the meantime that artificial light levels at night have reached insane intensity.The candle, the intensity of the candle for example, is absolutely sufficient for orientation.If you have to read in the evening or at night time, my personal favorite light source for readingtasks is a low-voltage incandescent halogen lamp, which is operated on a DC transformer. Directcurrent will eliminate all the dirty electricity and it will eliminate all the flicker. There aretransformers available where you can adjust the output between 6 volts and 12 volts. As long asit’s direct current, there is no flicker, there is no dirty electricity, and you are able to dim thehalogen lamp into a color temperature which is comparable to candle light even.

This is the softest, the healthiest electric light you can get at the moment. No LED will ever be so energyefficient, because you were talking several times about the energy efficiency.If we extend the spectral range to the non-visible part of the near-infrared radiation – let’s say ifyou would calculate the energy efficiency from 400 nanometers to a 1,400 nanometers, then thelight source with the highest energy efficiency, would you like to make an educated guess?JM: Probably the shorter wavelengths, I would think.AW: The light source with the highest efficiency in the range from 400 nanometers to 1,400nanometers would be —JM: Would be incandescent.

AW: Halogen incandescent lamp.JM: Yeah. Many people – I didn’t know this either until you explained it to me that halogen isan incandescent lamp. It’s an analog thermal light source. It’s not digital.AW: Yes. It is up to 100 percent more energy efficient compared to the standard incandescentlamp, so you have better energy use. You have less energy waste. And if you take into accountthe near-infrared radiation, and if you decide for your eyes, for example, for light hygiene foryour retina, that you want to have these long wavelengths. In addition to the visible part, then thehalogen, the low voltage halogen lamp, is the best and it reaches 4,000, 5,000 and in a dim stage,even 10,000 hours of lamp life.

JM: Is that on halogen – the AC halogen, or only with DC?AW: It is only with DC because the AC halogen – No. We only can talk about high voltage andlow voltage. Because you can operate the incandescent lamp – the incandescent lamp can beoperated on AC as well as on DC. But if you operate the low-voltage incandescent lamp on DC,you have zero dirty electricity. If you operate it on AC, you have 20 times more dirty electricitycompared to the AC high-voltage one.JM: Okay.AW: It’s a little bit complicated. It’s physicists’ stuff. But AC, alternating current, alwaysproduces dirty electricity. And in the low-voltage ones, you need much more amperage. It’s thecurrents and the other factor in —JM: The resistance?AW: No. The resistance, the current, the volt, and the ampere.JM: Okay.AW: So and the ampere value raises at a factor of 10 if you are working with AC on lowvoltage.The best is low-voltage halogen lamps with DC, because those are ones which reach5,000 and even more hours of lamp life.

JM: Okay. That gives us a pretty broad picture of some practical information we can now use tolight ourselves at night. I mean, ideally. This is why our ancestors were so much healthier. Notonly did they have more access to better food typically, they weren’t processed orcommercialized, they had better biological healthy analog light sources that were thermallybased, not digitally based. That would be the best. Now, the other danger that most of us areexposed to pretty much every waking hour is our devices. Our computer screens, our tablets, ourphones. They’re almost all LED based and there’s a lot of components here – and our e-readerstoo.[-----1:00:00-----]I use an e-book reader on the beach. It’s called Kindle, the e-ink reader. Although it has an LEDbacklight that you can use at night, you can turn it all the way off and just look at the sunlight,which is reflected. I think that’s really the ideal type of computer monitor that you could use.They are made -- I’m in the process of trying to find one. But in the meantime, I just recentlypurchased a notebook that has an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) screen and not an LEDmonitor.It’s really interesting because I’m a firm believer that you should use f.lux on your monitor notjust at night. The default setting for that is to just come on at sunset, and yes that’s helpful. It’sprobably the time that it’s most important. But I keep it on all the time. There’s no way I’mgoing to expose myself to that type of bright intensity light. But even though I can change a colortemperature, it still has this digital pulse faking out my biology.

I want you to talk about the difference between OLED, LED, e-ink, f.lux, and also if we areoutside and we have this LED or OLED screen and we’ve got the f.lux on, what I find personallyis that I don’t need to keep it all down at 2,700 degrees. I can essentially deactivate f.lux and putit up to 6,500 degrees if I need more light because you got all this light coming in. It sort ofdrowns out that monitor. I’m wondering if that’s biologically healthy. A lot of stuff at you butthese are really important questions.AW: Talking about our digital screens, I prefer personally to reduce the color temperature, thecorrelated color temperature, also during the daytime for my notebook. As you already said, thee-ink would be a perfect solution because in this case, you can exactly control the quality of theincident light. By that, you control the quality of the light which will be reflected by the e-inkdisplay. The problem is for motion pictures. It’s just too slow. It’s good for reading tasks but it’snot good for watching videos or so.The f.lux is one option you have. It depends a bit on the quality of your screen and the settingsyou are using if it really comparable to effective extinction of the blue light component, and whatyou could achieve with screen blue light protection glasses. Because they allow to eliminate theshort wavelengths even better. The OLEDs technology, I’m not sure if the color is really stablein every angle you can look at the display.

But definitely, if you have the screen technology where black is really black, then you have lessradiation coming into your eyes and the OLEDs technology is able to provide this. So the highcontrasts between the black and white, all the black areas in the Thin-film-transistor (TFT)screen or the standard screen are not really black. They are also emitting radiation, also emittingshortwave radiation. The OLED screen only emits where you see light, where there is black onthe screen, there is no light. This might be preferable as long as you have no problems with thelooking angle.

JM: It’s magnificent. I really love my new notebook. What I’ve noticed – I’ve compared thenotebook side by side in the same settings outside and I put f.lux on both at 2,700 degreesKelvin, which is an advanced setting that you have to go. It’s in the upper right hand corner. Itonly goes down to 3,500 normally, which is the color temperature of halogen. You have to go to2,700 and do it in advanced setting. But when you do that, Dr. Wunsch, it’s amazing. The OLEDis actually the same color you would see when you put on the blue blockers. And then the LEDconventional notebook is like, you can tell it’s like a blue light. You can see it night as day whenyou compare it. It looks orange when you have it by itself, but when you compare it with anOLED, there’s a dramatic difference.

I’m also wondering, do you minimize the digital impact on the cell biology that you werereferring to earlier with the OLED versions and LED?AW: This depends again on the technology of dimming. I bet that you can get OLEDs displayswith the pulse-width modulation dimming technology and you can also get OLED screens withthe improved dimming technology, where you have reduced flicker or even eliminated flickeractivity. These are the factors you would have to look at, and this is not so easy. Normally, youwould need a flicker meter when you purchase or when you buy your notebook, and you should check – this is a recommendation – you should check every electrical lighting appliance beforeyou buy it and bring it into your home.

JM: You can get a flicker meter or can you use the slow-motion mode of your cellphone, themore advanced cellphones, to do that detection?AW: I would say if you are able to compare your smartphone to the reading of a flicker meter,then you can get a kind of confirmation of how reliable your smartphone is in detecting flicker.But in the slow-mo mode, you normally should be able to find out if there is a significant flickerlevel in the light source present.JM: Maybe you can give us some links where we can pick up these flicker meters. I imaginethey’re not terribly expensive.

AW: They are not terribly expensive. You can get flicker – not meters – flicker detectors, whichare, in my understanding, are even better than the meters, because if you get a certain value, ittells nothing. But if you hear an awful buzz or an awful noise, this makes absolutely clear thatyour light source is flickering and distributing dirty photons.JM: In one of our earlier discussions, you actually told me about one of that you invented, didn’tyou? Do you actually have that for sale?AW: I built something I think 12 or 15 years ago, because I just wanted to know what’s going onaround me. I still manufacture this. But hopefully, there will be an improved version soon. Idon’t know when it will be ready, but I’m working on that.[-----1:10:00-----]JM: Okay, good.AW: I mean it’s not around 100 dollars. It should be around 30 to 40 dollars or so.JM: As I mentioned in the beginning, if it’s not obvious by now, you are just a wealth ofinformation in this area. We’re definitely going to have you on multiple times to expand on thisbecause there’s so much information that people need to know to absolutely have a betterunderstanding.

What I really love about some of your videos – we’re going to have links to those videos, theEnglish ones – is that you put this in a historical framework, which is just so magnificent becauseonce you understand the historical framework, you can start to begin to develop a deeperappreciation of how we veered on this path toward literally sabotaging ourselves with what wethink is useful technology. But it has these enormous downstream biological side effects thatwe’re exposing ourselves to.With knowledge, we can proactively prevent most of this. But I think, to summarize this,because we’re just kind of wrapping up, we really need to limit our exposure to this blue light.And it’s not, not, not just at night, it’s all day long. That’s why you want to avoid these exposures. It’s really important that you do that. Get the incandescent lights at night, blueblockers. Remember, it’s so simple. As soon as the sun sets, I don’t think you disagree with this,you put on those blue blockers.

Nothing beats it. Don’t take them off unless there’s anemergency or you have to read something really carefully. It’s just that you’re sabotagingyourself when you don’t.You’re increasing your reactive oxygen species and your retina pigment epithelium. You’reproducing your production melatonin not only in your penial gland, but also in your retina andother tissues. It’s just so critical, and we never even touched on the other hormonal components.That’s a whole other interview. I think that’s about all we have time for. But I want you tosummarize things from your perspective and emphasize any points you’d like to.AW: I think you just made a perfect summary of the most important aspects.

One thing to probably add or emphasize again, it’s not the blue light coming from the sun itself which weshould be concerned about. It’s the blue light, the singular HEV or high energy visual light,which comes from cold energy-efficient light sources. This is what causes the problem, not theblue light which comes together with longer wavelengths in a kind of natural cocktail. So thelight surrogates from non-thermal light sources. These are problems and you have to be clever toavoid these Trojan horses. If you want to make it sure, stay with the candles, stay with theincandescents.

JM: Yeah. The Trojan horses are really pernicious. Let me just—as you were mentioning that, itreminded me of one important one that most people don’t realize, and these are the people whoneed it most. These are people with impaired and damaged vision. They go to their optometrists,they go to their ophthalmologists, and what do they do? They dilate their eyes. They open themup so you have no control. And then what do they do next? They shine a high blue light spectrumLED with no balanced red or infrared right onto the back of the retina. Now couldn’t that be aworse prescription for damaging the retina? And they are clueless.

I definitely want you to comment on that, but there is a solution. Don’t worry. Don’t get upset.Just have them shine that through one of those blue blocking glasses and it’s less dangerous. Canyou comment on that because a lot of people are exposing their retinas to these dangerousradiations from their eye-care professionals?AW: Sometimes, if I want to see if the lens of the eye of the patient is affected from cataracts,the blue LED light for just a second or so is very helpful because you can see kind of fluorescenteffects in the lens. For diagnose purposes, it might be helpful. But of course, when we look at theexposure times, I think the higher impact comes from these Trojan horses – how do youpronounce it?

JM: Trojan. Trojan.AW. The Trojan horses we invited into our households and from the light sources we are lookinginto continuously on a permanent basis, like our displays, smart phones, tablets, and so.JM: Yeah, the chronic exposure is bad but I would have thought because of the high intensity ofthe illumination and the fact that the iris is maximally dilated or constricted, and it is such animpact on the retina that there’s acute exposure. It’s kind of like looking at an arc welding light,which can cause blindness or just being up on a mountain at 15,000 feet and taking off yourgoggles and getting blind. I would imagine that that acute high intensity exposure would behighly dangerous and would be ameliorated quite significantly if they were just to filter it with ablue blocking sunglass.AW: Yeah. To reduce the exposure to the lowest level, which is possible, is for sure the beststrategy.

JM: Okay, alright. Thank you so much. I am sure this is going to help so many people because,again, age-related macular degeneration is a serious, serious issue. I’m telling you, I just hopeand pray to God that we can spread this message far and wide. Share this video with every one ofyour friends and family because they need to know. Otherwise, we are going to have – Wealready have an epidemic of obesity. We have an epidemic of heart disease. Cancer.Alzheimer’s. We’re going to have an epidemic of blindness unless we can get ourselves awayfrom these chronic unopposed blue digital light sources, especially at night.

You’ve got to spread this message far and wide if we want to prevent this blindness epidemic.Just like cigarettes, it’s not going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year. It’sthis chronic exposure. We need decades of this exposure before we’re going to see it. For mostof us, it’s less than 10 years that we’ve had this exposure. We’re not going to see it for a while.But it doesn’t diminish the danger and the damage any less. So please spread this message farand wide.We are definitely having you back on again, Dr. Wunsch, because you’ve got so much incredibleinformation to share and there’s going to be a lot of questions on this too. Thank you so much.AW: Thank you very much, Dr. Mercola.

But at the cell level, no degenerative disease is significantly different than the simple process of natural death itself. The only differences between one degenerative disease and another is the varying complications that result as specific areas of the body cease to function properly.

During the late 1920's, the government and the military had begun researching "Death from Shock," in order to understand why soldiers were dying in battlefields from wounds which should not have been fatal. The discoveries they soon made will forever remain the most significant related to life and death at the cell level in the history of the world, and should have made headlines at any point in time — even today.

Healing The Lymphatic SystemInitially, by 1930, Cecil K. Drinker discovered that contrary to previous beliefs that the capillary pores can dilate or enlarge, allowing the plasma proteins to escape into the tissue spaces with the water from the blood stream. This process serves as a way to eliminate metabolic waste under normal circumstances, yet under less ideal circumstances it can occur excessively; and due to a variety of variables, if the lymphatic system is not totally effectuated these plasma particulates can stick together and become trapped in between the cells, resulting in blockages to the circulation that constitute a process of morbidity we know as degenerative disease.

In other words, (like natural death itself) the process of degenerative disease is due to a domino effect resulting in an ever increasing level of cells running out of fuel, due to trapped plasma proteins and excess fluid building up in the spaces between the cells. Enabling the body to heal is a simple process of reestablishing the normal distribution of life-supporting fluids throughout any particular tissues of the body.

By 1948, Hymen S. Mayerson was able to calculate that half of the blood proteins escape the blood stream every twenty-four hours under normal conditions, and if not for the lymphatic system, we would literally drown to death in our own internal fluids. You can know when this process has rapidly produced even the milder forms of distributive shock to any alarming degree or extent from poison or stress, because its signs or symptoms are thirst, or dry mouth, and a subsequent loss of energy.

The plasma proteins are responsible for holding most of the water in the bloodstream, so when they get stuck in between the cells they constitute a certain degree of hindrance between the irrigating oxygenated plasma fluids, that normally diffuse across the tissues from the arterial side over to the venous side of the bloodstream. In extreme cases, distributive shock (resulting in diminished irrigation of oxygen and nutrients to any tissues) may also cause the blood stream to totally collapse because of extreme loss of fluid.

A section entitled "Death from Shock" was once published in the 1953, '56, and the 1960 edition of the Encyclopedia Americana, yet it is not in the 1970 or later editions. Somebody had to have a lot of power to get rid of the blood-protein research. But why would they start to omit such important knowledge that was initially thought to be vital information for all?

Besides trapped plasma proteins, there is little else that can clog up and drown the tissues thereby altering the optimal conditions of an otherwise healthy body to produce disease, and that revelation would take away most of the power perceived to be held by the medical establishment today.

It wasn't long before the researchers involved in this work recognized the utter significance of the lymphatic system for its role in returning these particulates back into the blood stream where they ultimately belong. So with the help of the government and the military, this team of researchers traveled worldwide (even behind the iron curtain) and identified the top doctors and scientists who had studied anything about the lymphatic system. In 1963, these people were gathered together in the home of Dr. H. S. Mayerson in New Orleans, where they began the International Society of Lymphologists.Just before the formation of that society in 1961, Dr. Arthur C. Guyton (author of the most widely used Medical Textbook of Physiology) made a discovery he called the "Dry-State" discovery, which he described as a negative pressure condition that his studies found to exist in the crevices between each individual cell of all healthy tissues. (This author refers to this condition as the Vacuum-State). Guyton realized that only the lymphatic system could create this condition. Unfortunately, since this discovery was first published it has been pushed further and further into obscurity.

The first non-medical doctor to become a member of the ISL, Dr. C. Samuel West, in 1979, was passionately devoted to teaching people how to provide self-care and heal their own bodies. He was therefore encouraged by many of the founding members of that society to start the International Academy of Lymphology, for the purpose of teaching the research that lead to the formation of that society. Doctor West devoted all the remaining years of his life to teaching people how to heal themselves, using a science best described as Lymphatic Effectuation, but heretofore only referred to as The Art of Lymphasizing and/or Applied Lymphology.

The ISL gradually changed purposes as its newer members began to focus on more profitable genetic research. Many of the original geniuses that once formed the ISL have died or retired, or they now play a very small role, but the academy founded by Dr. C. Samuel West continues to teach The Art of Lymphasizing, blood protein research, and the science of Applied Lymphology to the lay public.

With this science it is hoped that enough people will one day understand how to at least enable the healing process to prevent, reverse, and eliminate every degenerative disease known to man — whenever possible — that the world will finally begin to take all necessary steps to enjoy a revolution in the field of health care.

In short, all pain, degenerative diseases, inflammation, infections, injuries, and even natural death share the same process of morbidity, which invariably involves an accumulation of trapped plasma proteins and excess fluids, held between the cells. If you can relieve the pain naturally by eliminating the trapped plasma proteins and excess fluid from between the cells, you can enable the body to heal whatever areas of the body that are affected. Then, if the body's feedback and response mechanisms are working to initiate a healing response, the body will begin healing.

When people finally understand the process of degenerative disease, they will obviously also understand how to mitigate and reverse that process for their own self-care, thus eliminating the morbidity or blockages to the circulation; and the result will be a restoration of the conditions that result in perfect health — the Vacuum State.

Hopefully by reading this article everyone will begin to "catch the vision of the Vacuum State" and the ability to begin acting more as their own doctors. It seems obvious why only "a small handful of people" have ever even heard about this optimal condition (which ensures the success of the blood stream): that discovery coupled with related discoveries (about the function of the lymphatic system, and the life process of every cell) reveal simple methods anyone can use to effectuate the lymphatic system, the result being conditions that are necessary for the body to function properly (or to heal).

For example, the same type of techniques one would use to heal a smashed finger might also be used to help the body heal any inflamed tissues or vital organs. And the simple fact is, that if the pain is to be relieved properly (by resolving the actual dilemmas) then the body will be able to heal itself in a remarkably short period of time.

So does anyone still wonder why numerous people may be at fault for ignoring and even trampling over the most significant process of morbidity or disease the field of epidemiology will ever know? There is evidently not enough money in teaching people how to heal their own bodies.

Video 2 explains the importance of cholesterol as this manufactures vitamin D3 in the skin. When vitamin D is synthesised naturally with sunlight or sunbeds it is sulphated.

The pill form of vitamin D is not sulphated, This is just one of at least 12 very important biological benefits that you get with sunlight manufactured vitamin D.

So in video 2 it goes into very deep and clear descriptions of how and why cholesterol is important to protect the heart and not the other way round although we are talking about high HDL and low but essential LDL.In other words we are talking about the ratio of HDL to the total figure of Cholesterol and also very important the Particle size which by the way my last blood test a few weeks ago when i asked my doc for my print out she didnt even know what i was talking about. How incredible is that. This topic is now updated and an absolute must watch if you are on statins and want to save your life.

Below is a paper i have written up and summarises this subject.

Cholesterol is a precursor for vitamin D. Cholesterol is essential for cell communication.Cholesterol deficiency can cause:Myopathy (along with Neuropathy can eventually lead to being in a wheel chair)DiabetesLiver diseaseKidney failureHepatitisFoetal deformitiesCataractsNeuropathyALSHeart attackCancerBrain hippocampus shrinkage leading to (Depression)Parkinson’s diseaseAlzheimer’sCognitive behaviourCo/enzyme Q10 depletion ( This enzyme is crucial for the hearts function and energy ) Depletes vitamin k2 which is essential for preventing calcification of the arteries and removing plaque from organs and sending it to the bones and teeth.Calcification of the arteriesCause systemic damage(Neuropathy is one of the long-term complications which affect the nerves. Nerves carry messages between the brain and every part of our bodies, making it possible to see, hear, feel and move. Nerves also carry signals that we are not aware of to parts of the body such as the heart, altering the rate it beats at, and the lungs, so we can breathe. Therefore, damage to the nerves can cause problems in various parts of the body)

Sensory Neuropathy

Tingling and numbnessLoss of ability to feel painLoss of ability to detect changes in temperatureLoss of coordination – when you lose your joint position senseBurning or shooting pains – these may be worse at night time.

ALS(ALS attacks certain cells in the brain and the spinal cord needed to keep our muscles moving. Early signs and symptoms of ALS include muscle cramps and twitching, weakness in the extremities and difficulty speaking or swallowing. As the disease progresses, though, it is characterized by:The inability to move any part of your bodyThe inability to speak or communicate with anything but your eyesComplete reliance on a feeding tube for nutritionThe senses, including hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch, are not affected by ALS. In most cases, people with ALS do not experience difficulties in bowel, bladder or sexual function)

Cholesterol is synthesised in the skin as well as being made by the liver. when we are exposed to sunlight we make sulphated vitamin D and sulphated cholesterol. Cholesterol is also synthesised in the brain. We also need our cholesterol to be sulphated as when we expose ourselves to the sun the red blood cells in the arteries synthesise sulphate. The sulphated cholesterol is then directly shipped through the skin and into the blood stream and delivered to the cells and tissues.

So why is sulphate necessary?

Sulphate is necessary for the LDL cholesterol to deliver the sulphate to the heart , brain and muscles.When cholesterol builds up in the arteries it is waiting for sulphate to arrive. Hence LDL gets a bad rap for causing blockages in the arteries, When in actual fact it is delivered there on site close to the heart waiting for sulphate to come along. It is also in place for emergencies because of the lack of sulphate in the first place.

The LDL is stored in the arteries because it cannot be delivered into the blood stream because it is fat soluble without the sulphate, which makes it water soluble. When sulphate is added it becomes water soluble and can then be delivered into the blood stream and to the tissues and cells throughout the body including the brain and heart.So sulphate deficiency is what causes LDL cholesterol build up in the arteries and not the LDL itself. If the body was rich in sulphate there would not be any blockages.

Also when this build up occurs in the arteries because of a lack of sulphate the build-up of LDL is near the heart for a reason too. Another thing that is overlooked is that the body is very clever it actually grows bypass arteries when arteries start to get blocked up because of a lack of sulphate.

A very small heart attack may take place because of this and if this occurs it can actually have benefits.The heart stores an amino acid called tureen and this tureen is one molecule away from being sulphate. So when the orchestrated heart attack occurs the tureen acquires the molecule needed to turn it into sulphate. This then allows the LDL build-up to be carried away by macrophages and also the cholesterol then becomes usable.

Also Cholesterol cannot pass the blood brain barrier to carry out its very important duties in the brain without it being sulphated. Statins do pass the blood brain barrier interfering with the synthesis of cholesterol. 90% of the brain is made up of cholesterol so it makes no sense to lower cholesterol.Without the right amount of cholesterol in the brain a degenerative decline will start. i.e.

Alzheimer’sCognitive behaviourMemory lossPlus all the aforementioned afflictions at the start of this paper.

Statins interfere with serotonin production leading to depression and many other medical conditions. Serotonin needs cholesterol to function properly and statins cause serotonin interference. There is no correlation between high cholesterol and heart attacks , in fact medical charts around the world show that people with higher cholesterol have less heart attacks than people with low cholesterol. This is also true of people in hot countries where there is more exposure to the sun causing synthesis of sulphated vitamin D and sulphated cholesterol.

Remember ingested form of vitamin D is not sulphated hence the importance of sunshine on the skin.

Sulphate causes a negative charge and a magnetic field is produced around the blood cells. This negative charge stops the red blood cells from sticking together (coagulating) and so the viscosity of the blood is less and so it flows better making it healthier. This magnetic field is also necessary for cellular signalling. So here again we can see the importance of cholesterol. The cholesterol also prevents infection getting into the cells.Statins interfere with cellular signalling.

The importance and relevance of vitamin D synthesised naturally with sunshine is that when synthesised naturally it is sulphated unlike when you ingest vitamin d i.e. take a vitamin D pill.This is just one of at least 12 benefits you get from sunshine rather than taking vitamin D in pill form.One other benefit is the necessary production of nitric oxide which is converted into nitrate essential for softening the arteries and dilating them for easy blood flow and to prevent hardening of the arteries and prevention of plaque build-up, it is also essential for cellular signalling.

When your own cholesterol levels rise from your own normal levels this is usually in response to something that is going on in your body and it needs to raise cholesterol for a reason that needs to be investigated.It could be that you already have a heart problem or a sulphate deficiency. Cholesterol also heals cuts in the body and even cuts from foreign bodies in the arteries and that is another reason it is always at the scene.It is a repair system so again makes no sense to lower it.

Causes of high LDL

One of the causes of high LDL and the cause of LDL build up in the arteries is GMO’S (genetically modified organisms) Herbicides sprayed onto crops and processed food.The main culprit is Glyphosate. This is a chemical that is sprayed onto food in the fields where it is being cultivated and Glyphosate is toxic to the human body.Glyphosate impairs the body’s ability to maintain sulphate.

Hence cholesterol is packaged and wrapped up in LDL and delivered to the arteries near the heart until it can be sulphated to make it water soluble so that it can be shipped out into the blood and to the cells and tissues.So therefore we have a build-up of LDL which is cleverly distributed near the heart until sulphur comes along. This is where cholesterol gets the blame and a bad rap for causing heart attacks, which of course is untrue.Cholesterol also protects the body’s cells from infection so to reduce cholesterol does not make sense.“It is also the sulphated vitamin D and not the ingested form that protects and helps to cure cancer and other degenerative diseases”This adds to the theory that natural sun based synthesis of vitamin d is crucial to the human body.

LDL particle size

This is where the medical doctors also let us down again because they do not check for the size of the LDL particles which is important.Small particles are more atherogenic meaning that they are more likely to stick or lodge in the artery walls increasing the IMT (intima medial thickness) thickness of the arterial wall due to fat and plaque build-up. This test for the IMT is usually done using ultrasound.

The smaller the LDL particles are the more they oxidise and are more likely to lodge.There is a test for this called electrophoresis using gradient gel but they don’t even test for this.Sulphate can also be measured but they do not test for this either to see if you are deficient.

When statins were introduced around 1980 heart failures doubled between 1980 and 1990 and has continued to rise since.To help promote the use of this lethal chemical statins big Pharma also lied saying that it has an added benefit preventing Alzheimer’s. This too is a lie because it actually it causes Alzheimer’s.

The natural way to get LDL low is through sunlight. When our skin is exposed to sunlight the red blood cells make sulphated vitamin D. By getting the sulphate, this then works in synergy with cholesterol and vitamin D so therefore the liver does not need to make more LDL to package up the cholesterol to deliver it. Without sulphate it has to be packaged up in LDL because with out the sulphate it is fat based so it cannot be shipped out into the blood stream as the sulphate makes the cholesterol water based, hence the reason for cholesterol being wrapped up in LDL. That is why LDL is always at the scene of the crime (heart attack or failure) and gets the blame for the sulphate deficiency

The statins also interfere with the livers ability to produce LDL and so we have less cellular signalling and all the other attributed problems listed at the beginning of this paper.

Very Disturbing fact about statins below

Statins are also a class x drug. There is only one other drug that is class x and that is the drug that caused Thalidomide. If you can remember the drug it caused pregnant women who were taking this drug to give birth to babies with no arms, no legs, and no ears etc.

“This is the most destructive, lethal and catastrophic drug to ever come out of the Big Pharma industry. In time history will show statins to be an even bigger catastrophe than Thalidomide”“We have to remember that the FDA is funded by the Big pharmaceutical companies and that is why all the papers that come out about the chemical drugs (yes all drugs are actually chemicals that also cause metabolic slowdown of the cells regenerative properties in turn causing faster aging are skewed in favour of selling these drugs to fund their greed for money over their responsibility to the public for which the FDA was originally intended for”.

Added sugar may be the single most unhealthy aspect of the modern diet.

For this reason, people have looked towards natural alternatives like Xylitol.

Xylitol looks and tastes like sugar, but has fewer calories and doesn’t raise blood sugar levels.

Several studies suggest that it can improve dental health and have various other important benefits.

This article takes a detailed look at Xylitol and how it can affect your health.

What is Xylitol and How is it Made?

Xylitol is a substance that is categorized as a sugar alcohol (or polyalcohol).

Sugar alcohols are like hybrids of a sugar molecule and alcohol molecule. Their structure gives them the ability to stimulate the sweet taste receptors on the tongue.

Xylitol is found in small amounts in many fruits and vegetables and is therefore considered natural. Humans even produce small amounts of it via normal metabolism.

It is a common ingredient in sugar free chewing gums, candies, mints, diabetes friendly foods and oral care products.

Xylitol has a similar sweetness as regular sugar, but contains 40% fewer calories:

Table Sugar: 4 calories per gram.Xylitol: 2.4 calories per gram.

Xylitol Crystals

Obviously, xylitol is a refined sweetener, so it doesn’t contain any vitamins, minerals or protein. In that sense, it is “empty” calories.

Xylitol can be processed from trees like birch, but it can also be made with an industrial process that transforms a plant fiber called xylan into xylitol.

Even though sugar alcohols are technically carbohydrates, most of them do not raise blood sugar levels and therefore don’t count as “net” carbs, making them popular sweeteners in low-carb products.

Btw… don’t be intimidated by the sugar alcohol part… this really has nothing to do with the alcohol people get drunk from. Sugar alcohols are safe for alcoholics.

Bottom Line: Xylitol is a type of sweetener called a sugar alcohol and is found in some plants. It looks and tastes like sugar, but has 40% fewer calories.Xylitol Has a Very Low Glycemic Index and Doesn’t Spike Blood Sugar or Insulin

Happy Doctor

One of the negative effects of added sugar (and high fructose corn syrup), is that it can spike blood sugar and insulin levels.

Due to the high amount of fructose, it can also lead to insulin resistance and all sorts of metabolic problems when consumed in excess (more details in this article).

The glycemic index (a measure of how quickly foods raise blood sugar) is only 7, compared to regular sugar, which has a glycemic index of 60-70

It can also be considered a weight loss friendly sweetener, since it contains 40% fewer calories than sugar.

For people with diabetes, pre-diabetes, obesity or other metabolic problems, xylitol is an excellent alternative to sugar.

Although this has yet to be studied in humans, rat studies have shown that xylitol can improve symptoms of diabetes, reduce belly fat and even prevent weight gain on a fattening diet.

Bottom Line: Unlike sugar, xylitol has negligible effects on blood sugar and insulin levels. Several rat studies show impressive benefits for metabolic health.Xylitol Starves The Bad Bacteria in The Mouth and Has Major Benefits for Dental Health

Many dentists recommend using xylitol-sweetened chewing gum… for good reason.

This is because numerous studies show that xylitol has powerful benefits for dental health and prevention of tooth decay

One of the leading risk factors for tooth decay is a type of oral bacteria called Streptococcus mutans. This is the bacteria mostly responsible for plaque.

Although having some plaque on the teeth is normal, when it goes out of hand the immune system starts attacking the bacteria in it. This can lead to inflammatory gum diseases like gingivitis.

Well… these oral bacteria feed on glucose from food, but they can not use xylitol. Replacing sugar with xylitol therefore reduces the available fuel for the harmful bacteria.

But the effects of xylitol go beyond that… even though the bad bacteria can not use xylitol for fuel, they still ingest it.

When the bacteria are full of xylitol, they are unable to take up glucose, so essentially their energy producing pathway is “clogged” and they end up dying.

In other words, when you chew gum with xylitol (or use it as a sweetener), the sugar metabolism in the bacteria is blocked and they literally starve to death.

In one study, using xylitol-sweetened chewing gum reduced levels of the bad bacteria by 27-75%, while it had no effect on the friendly bacteria.

Xylitol also has other dental benefits

Increases absorption of calcium in the digestive system, which is good for your teeth and may also protect against osteoporosis.

Increases production of saliva. Saliva contains calcium and phosphate, which get picked up by the teeth and aid in remineralization.Reduces the acidity of saliva, which helps to fight acid-driven degradation of tooth enamel.Numerous studies show that xylitol, either by replacing sugar or adding it on top of the diet, can reduce cavities and tooth decay by as much as 30-85%.

Because inflammation is at the root of many chronic diseases, it makes sense that reducing plaque and gum inflammation could have benefits for the rest of your body as well.

Bottom Line: Xylitol can starve the harmful bacteria in the mouth, reducing plaque buildup and tooth decay. This can help prevent dental caries and inflammatory gum diseases.Xylitol Reduces Ear Infections in Children and Fights The Yeast Candida Albicans

Sad Bacteria

The mouth, nose and ears are all interconnected.

For this reason, bacteria that live in the mouth can end up causing ear infections, a common problem in children.

It turns out that xylitol can starve some of these bacteria, in the same way as it starves the plaque producing bacteria.

In one study in children with recurring ear infections, daily usage of xylitol-sweetened chewing gum reduced the rate of infection by 40%.

Xylitol also helps fight the yeast Candida albicans, reducing its ability to stick to a surface and cause infection.

Bottom Line: Xylitol-sweetened gum can reduce ear infections in children and help fight infection by the yeast Candida albicans.

Xylitol Has Several Other Potential Health Benefits

Wooden Bowl With White, Crystalline Powder

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and found in large amounts in skin and connective tissues.

There are some studies in rats showing that xylitol can increase the production of collagen, which may help to counteract the effects of ageing on the skin (20, 21).

Xylitol may also be protective against osteoporosis, leading to increased bone volume and bone mineral content in rats.

Although xylitol can kill the “bad” bacteria in the mouth, it can also feed the friendly bacteria in the gut, which is a good thing.

In this regard, it functions kind of like soluble fiber.

Bottom Line: Xylitol may help to increase collagen production and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. It also appears to have prebiotic effects, feeding the friendly bacteria in the gut.There’s One Big Problem… Xylitol is Highly Toxic to Dogs

Dog With a Graduate Cap

In humans, xylitol is absorbed slowly and has no measurable effect on insulin production.

Unfortunately, the same can not be said about dogs.

When dogs eat xylitol, their bodies mistakenly think that they’ve ingested glucose and start producing large amounts of insulin.

When this happen, the dog’s cells start taking up glucose from the bloodstream. This can lead to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels) and be downright fatal.

Xylitol may also have detrimental effects on liver function in dogs, with high doses causing liver failure.

Keep in mind that it only takes about 0.1 g/kg for a dog to be affected, so a 3 kg (6-7 lbs) Chihuahua will get sick from eating only 0.3 grams of xylitol. This is less than the amount contained in a single piece of chewing gum.

So if you own a dog, then keep xylitol out of reach (or out of your house altogether). If you believe your dog accidentally ate xylitol, take it to the vet immediately.

Bottom Line: Xylitol can be highly toxic to dogs, leading to hypoglycemia and/or liver failure.Side Effects and Dosage

Young Woman With Stomach Ache

Xylitol is generally well tolerated, but some people do get digestive side effects when they consume too much.

The sugar alcohols can pull water into the intestine or get fermented by gut bacteria.

This can lead to gas, bloating and diarrhea.

However, the body seems to adjust very well to xylitol.

If you ramp up your intake slowly and give your body time to adjust, then chances are that you won’t experience any negative effects.

If you’re not sure that you can tolerate sugar alcohols, then consider staying near a toilet the first time you eat a significant amount.

That being said, long-term consumption of xylitol does appear to be completely safe.

In one study, subjects consumed an average of 3.3 lbs (1.5 kg) of xylitol per month, with a maximum daily intake of over 400 grams without any negative effects.

People use sugar alcohols to sweeten all sorts of things… coffees, teas and various recipes. You can replace sugar with xylitol in a 1:1 ratio.

If you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome or an intolerance to FODMAPs, then be extra careful with sugar alcohols and consider avoiding them altogether.

Take Home Message

If you want to sweeten something, xylitol is an excellent choice.

Whereas the debate on most sweeteners is about whether they will harm you or not, the studies show that xylitol has actual health benefits.

It doesn’t spike blood sugar or insulin, starves the plaque-producing bacteria in the mouth and feeds the friendly microbes in the intestine.

Researchers at Edinburgh University have now completed a number of studies into the benefits of sunshine on the body. In particular they have been looking at how the sun promotes increases of nitric oxide (NO) in the body and how that chemical dilates blood vessels, thus reducing blood pressure and cardiovascular, heart attack and stroke risk.

The researchers studied the effects of UVA using sunbeds on 24 healthy people and noted that the effects were produced irrespective of vitamin D levels. In other words, these are benefits over and above any increase in vitamin D as a result of sunshine exposure.

Indeed Dr. Richard Weller who lead the team and who is a senior lecturer in dermatology at the University confirmed that

i) The benefits to heart health far outweighed the risks of skin cancer

ii) Heart disease and stroke lead to approximately 80 times more deaths than skin cancer in the UK

Further work since 2013 has identified an anti-microbial effect of sunshine on the skin producing nitric oxide from nitrates.

Weller has also shown that nitric oxide release also accounts for a reduced incidence of skin infections and pathogens in psoriasis.

Avoiding the sun is as bad as smoking

In another study lead by Dr. Pelle Lindqvist of the Karolinska Institute, women who avoided sunbathing had twice the risk of dying prematuresly than those who were avid sunbathers. Indeed, on studying smokers, the researchers concluded that avoiding the sun was as bad for your health as smoking!

Professor Martin Feelisch of Southampton University concurs. 'It's time to reassess the balance of risk between skin cancer and cardiovascular disease'. He believes that avoiding sunshine or using sunblock could be another risk factor for cardiovascular disease! know The Truth!

Here we talk about several nutrients that work alongside with PQQ although PQQ is fantastic on its own there are benefits from all we talk about here in this topic.

Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a novel vitamin-like compound found in plant foods that is showing a wide range of benefits to brain and body function based upon preclinical studies and initial clinical evaluation.1 Although PQQ is not currently viewed as a vitamin, it is likely to be considered an essential nutrient in the future.

What exactly does PQQ do?

PQQ stimulates growth and serves as a cofactor for a special class of enzymes involved in cellular function including cellular growth, development, differentiation, and survival.1

PQQ is also as an extremely powerful antioxidant capable of catalyzing continuous cycling (the ability to perform repeated oxidation and reduction reactions) to a much greater degree compared to other antioxidants. For example, PQQ is able to carry out 20,000 catalytic conversions compared to only 4 for vitamin C.1,2

Are there any food sources of PQQ?

PQQ has been found in all plant foods analyzed to date.1 PQQ-rich foods include parsley, green peppers, kiwi fruit, papaya and tofu.3 These foods contain about 2-3 mcg per 100 grams. Green tea provides about the same amount per 4 oz serving.Is PQQ an essential nutrient?

Based upon the current research there is no question that it plays a critical role in human nutrition.1,4 When PQQ is omitted from chemically defined diets in mammals it leads to growth impairment, compromised immune status, and abnormal reproductive function.5 The nutritional requirements of PQQ are probably in line with folic acid and biotin in terms of micrograms per day versus milligrams per day. Like essential nutrients, the immune system seems particularly sensitive to low levels of PQQ. With PQQ deprivation there are multiple defects in immune function and loss of white blood cells to respond properly.1

What is the most important function of PQQ?

One key action of PQQ involves a direct action on key enzymes involved in the energy producing compartments in our cells – the mitochondria. As a result PQQ improves energy production.1,6 In addition to PQQ’s powerful antioxidant effect protects against mitochondrial damage. But, PQQ not only protects mitochondria from oxidative stress—it also promotes the spontaneous generation of new mitochondria within aging cells, a process known as mitochondrial biogenesis or mitochondriogenesis.1,7,8 This effect is a “fountain of youth” for mitochondrial function.

What are the clinical uses of PQQ?

Given the nutritional importance and tremendous span of physiological effects of PQQ, there are considerable benefits in conditions that revolve around low mitochondrial function including in aging, many brain and neurological disease (e.g., Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease), and many other chronic degenerative disease. Current research has primarily focused on its ability to protect memory and cognition in both aging animals and humans. Here are some of the effects noted in the animal studies:

PQQ reverses cognitive impairment caused by chronic oxidative stress and improve performance on memory tests in animal models.1,9PQQ supplementation stimulates the production and release of nerve growth factor.1,1PQQ protects against the self-oxidation of the DJ-1 gene, an early step in the onset of Parkinson’s disease.1,11PQQ protects brain cells against oxidative damage in models of strokes.1,12PQQ blocks the formation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), a major source of reactive nitrogen species (RNS) that are so damaging to brain cells.1,13PQQ protects against the likelihood of severe stroke in an experimental animal model for stroke.1,14PQQ protects the brain against neurotoxicity induced by other powerful toxins, including mercury, glutamate, and oxidopamine (a potent neurotoxin used by scientists to induce Parkinsonism in laboratory animals).1,15,16PQQ prevents development of alpha-synuclein, a protein associated with Parkinson’s disease.1,17PQQ also protects nerve cells from the damaging effects of the beta-amyloid-protein linked with Alzheimer’s disease.

Has PQQ been studied in human clinical trials?

Yes, preliminary clinical studies are extremely encouraging and several larger clinical trials are currently either completed waiting publication or are in process.

In regards to improving brain function, while PQQ is somewhat effective on its own, when it is combined with a related compound well-known to all – coenzyme Q10 – even better results have been shown. This synergistic effect was first seen in animal studies and further demonstrated in a human double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial conducted in Japan in 2007.19 In this study of 71 middle-aged and elderly people aged between 40-70, supplementation with 20 mg per day of PQQ resulted in improvements on tests of higher cognitive function compared to the placebo group, but in the group receiving 20 mg of PQQ along with 300 mg of CoQ10 the results were even more dramatic. PQQ and CoQ10 are both involved in mitochondrial energy production, so these results are not that surprising.

Does PQQ have to be used with CoQ10 to see results?

No, it is active on its own. In fact, in most people under 50 there may not be a need for simultaneous use of PQQ and CoQ10 unless the person is taking a drug like cholesterol-lowering statins that interfere with CoQ10 manufacture.

One human study used PQQ in 10 subjects (5 females, 5 males) the ages of 21–34 years. The subjects were given PQQ in a single dose (0.2 mg PQQ/kg) after which multiple measurements of plasma and urine PQQ levels and changes in antioxidant potential over a 48-hour period.20 Results indicated a significant increase in antioxidant potential even after this only one dosage. The same subjects were also given a daily dose of 0.3 mg PQQ/kg and had their blood measured for markers of inflammation (plasma C-reactive protein and interleukin (IL)-6 levels) and urinary metabolites related to energy metabolism before PQQ administration and 72 hours later.

PQQ supplementation resulted in significant decreases in the levels of the inflammatory markers of plasma C-reactive protein and IL-6. Furthermore, the changes in urinary metabolites consistent with enhanced mitochondria-related functions. The data are among the first to link systemic effects of PQQ in animals to corresponding effects in humans.What is the proper dosage?

One question regarding PQQ is what is an effective dosage? Specifically, if the nutritional requirement of PQQ is likely less than 500 mcg daily why is the recommended dosage 10 to 20 mg? In order to get a measured response in mitochondrial function in adult animals there is the need to feed higher amounts of PQQ much like why only 8 to 15 mg of vitamin C might protect against the overt signs of scurvy, the recommended dietary allowance currently stands at 75 to 90 milligram per day (for adults, excluding pregnant and lactating women) for optimal function, and even higher amounts are required for clinical applications.

The current recommendation of 10 to 20 mg of PQQ daily is based upon the equivalent dose in animals has consistently improved various mitochondrial functions. There are also some clinical and observational studies that justify the dosage, especially the 20 mg dosage for enhancing memory.

Latest research for preventing buildup of sludge in the Arteries is described below, using three supplements together that work at mitochondria cell level to prevent oxidation.

N-acetyl cysteine and COQ10

N-acetyl cysteine comes from the amino acid L-cysteine. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. N-acetyl cysteine has many uses as medicine.

N-acetyl cysteine is used to counteract acetaminophen (Tylenol) and carbon monoxide poisoning. It is also used for chest pain (unstable angina), bile duct blockage in infants, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gehrig’s disease), Alzheimer’s disease, allergic reactions to the anti-seizure drug phenytoin (Dilantin), and an eye infection called keratoconjunctivitis. It is also used for reducing levels of a type of cholesterol called lipoprotein (a), homocysteine levels (a possible risk factor for heart disease) and the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with serious kidney disease.

What is CoQ10 used for?Many claims are made about CoQ10. It is said to help heart failure, as well as cancer, muscular dystrophy, and periodontal disease. It is also said to boost energy and speed recovery from exercise. Some people take it to help reduce the effects certain medicines can have on the heart, muscles, and other organs.

PQQ Pyrroloquinoline Quinone

Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a novel redox cofactor recently found in human milk. It has been reported to function as an essential nutrient, antioxidant and redox modulator in cell culture experiments and in animal models of human diseases. As mitochondria are particularly susceptible to oxidative damage we studied the antioxidant properties of PQQ in isolated rat liver mitochondria. PQQ was an effective antioxidant protecting mitochondria against oxidative stress-induced lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyl formation and inactivation of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. In contrast, PQQ caused extensive cell death to cells in culture. This surprising effect was inhibited by catalase, and was shown to be due to the generation of hydrogen peroxide during the autoxidation of PQQ in culture medium. We conclude that the reactivities of PQQ are dependent on its environment and that it can act as an antioxidant or a pro-oxidant in different biological systems.

Glutathione

What is it? I’m talking about the mother of all antioxidants, the master detoxifier and maestro of the immune system: GLUTATHIONE (pronounced “gloota-thigh-own”).

The good news is that your body produces its own glutathione. The bad news is that poor diet, pollution, toxins, medications, stress, trauma, aging, infections and radiation all deplete your glutathione.

This leaves you susceptible to unrestrained cell disintegration from oxidative stress, free radicals, infections and cancer. And your liver gets overloaded and damaged, making it unable to do its job of detoxification.

In treating chronically ill patients with Functional Medicine for more than 10 years, I have discovered that glutathione deficiency is found in nearly all very ill patients. These include people with chronic fatigue syndrome, heart disease, cancer, chronic infections, autoimmune disease, diabetes, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, arthritis, asthma, kidney problems, liver disease and more.

At first I thought that this was just a coincidental finding, but over the years I have come to realize that our ability to produce and maintain a high level of glutathione is critical to recovery from nearly all chronic illness — and to preventing disease and maintaining optimal health and performance. The authors of those 76,000 medical articles on glutathione I mentioned earlier have found the same thing!

So in today’s blog I want to explain what glutathione is, why it’s important and give you 9 tips that will help you optimize your glutathione levels, improve your detoxification system and protect help yourself from chronic illness.

What is Glutathione?

Glutathione is a very simple molecule that is produced naturally all the time in your body. It is a combination of three simple building blocks of protein or amino acids — cysteine, glycine and glutamine.

The secret of its power is the sulfur (SH) chemical groups it contains. Sulfur is a sticky, smelly molecule. It acts like fly paper and all the bad things in the body stick onto it, including free radicals and toxins like mercury and other heavy metals.

Normally glutathione is recycled in the body — except when the toxic load becomes too great. And that explains why we are in such trouble ...

In my practice, I test the genes involved in glutathione metabolism. These are the genes involved in producing enzymes that allow the body to create and recycle glutathione in the body. These genes have many names, such as GSTM1, GSTP1 and more.

These genes impaired in some people for a variety of important reasons. We humans evolved in a time before the 80,000 toxic industrial chemicals found in our environment today were introduced into our world, before electromagnetic radiation was everywhere and before we polluted our skies, lakes, rivers, oceans and teeth with mercury and lead.

That is why most people survived with the basic version of the genetic detoxification software encoded in our DNA, which is mediocre at ridding the body of toxins. At the time humans evolved we just didn’t need more. Who knew we would be poisoning ourselves and eating a processed, nutrient-depleted diet thousands of years later?

Because most of us didn’t require additional detoxification software, almost of half of the population now has a limited capacity to get rid of toxins. These people are missing GSTM1 function — one of the most important genes needed in the process of creating and recycling glutathione in the body.

Nearly all my very sick patients are missing this function. The one-third of our population that suffers from chronic disease is missing this essential gene. That includes me. Twenty years ago I became mercury poisoned and suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome due to this very problem. My GSTM1 function was inadequate and I didn’t produce enough glutathione as a result. Eventually, my body broke down and I became extremely ill ...

This is the same problem I see in so many of my patients. They are missing this critical gene and they descend into disease as a result. Let me explain how this happens ...

The Importance of Glutathione in Protecting Against Chronic Illness

Glutathione is critical for one simple reason: It recycles antioxidants. You see, dealing with free radicals is like handing off a hot potato. They get passed around from vitamin C to vitamin E to lipoic acid and then finally to glutathione which cools off the free radicals and recycles other antioxidants. After this happens, the body can “reduce” or regenerate another protective glutathione molecule and we are back in business.

However, problems occur when we are overwhelmed with too much oxidative stress or too many toxins. Then the glutathione becomes depleted and we can no longer protect ourselves against free radicals, infections, or cancer and we can’t get rid of toxins. This leads to further sickness and soon we are in the downward spiral of chronic illness.

But that’s not all. Glutathione is also critical in helping your immune system do its job of fighting infections and preventing cancer. That’s why studies show that it can help in the treatment of AIDS.(i)

Glutathione is also the most critical and integral part of your detoxification system. All the toxins stick onto glutathione, which then carries them into the bile and the stool — and out of your body.

And lastly, it also helps us reach peak mental and physical function. Research has shown that raised glutathione levels decrease muscle damage, reduce recovery time, increase strength and endurance and shift metabolism from fat production to muscle development.

If you are sick or old or are just not in peak shape, you likely have glutathione deficiency. In fact, the top British medical journal, the Lancet, found the highest glutathione levels in healthy young people, lower levels in healthy elderly, lower still in sick elderly and the lowest of all in the hospitalized elderly. (ii)

Keeping yourself healthy, boosting your performance, preventing disease and aging well depends on keeping your glutathione levels high. I’ll say it again ... Glutathione is so important because it is responsible for keeping so many of the keys to UltraWellness optimized.

It is critical for immune function and controlling inflammation. It is the master detoxifier and the body’s main antioxidant, protecting our cells and making our energy metabolism run well.

And the good news is that you can do many things to increase this natural and critical molecule in your body. You can eat glutathione-boosting foods. You can exercise. And you can take glutathione-boosting supplements. Let’s review more specifics about each.

9 Tips to Optimize your Glutathione Levels

These 9 tips will help you improve your glutathione levels, improve your health, optimize your performance and live a long, healthy life.

2. Try bioactive whey protein. This is great source of cysteine and the amino acid building blocks for glutathione synthesis. As you know, I am not a big fan of dairy. But this is an exception — with a few warnings. The whey protein MUST be bioactive and made from non-denatured proteins (“denaturing” refers to the breakdown of the normal protein structure). Choose non-pasteurized and non-industrially produced milk that contains no pesticides, hormones, or antibiotics. Immunocal is a prescription bioactive non-denatured whey protein that is even listed in the Physician’s Desk Reference.

Exercise for Your Way to More Glutathione

3. Exercise boosts your glutathione levels and thereby helps boost your immune system, improve detoxification and enhance your body’s own antioxidant defenses. Start slow and build up to 30 minutes a day of vigorous aerobic exercise like walking or jogging, or play various sports. Strength training for 20 minutes 3 times a week is also helpful.

Take Glutathione Supporting Supplements

One would think it would be easy just to take glutathione as a pill, but the body digests protein — so you wouldn’t get the benefits if you did it this way. However, the production and recycling of glutathione in the body requires many different nutrients and you CAN take these. Here are the main supplements that need to be taken consistently to boost glutathione. Besides taking a multivitamin and fish oil, supporting my glutathione levels with these supplements is the most important thing I do every day for my personal health.

4. N-acetyl-cysteine. This has been used for years to help treat asthma and lung disease and to treat people with life-threatening liver failure from Tylenol overdose. In fact, I first learned about it in medical school while working in the emergency room. It is even given to prevent kidney damage from dyes used during x-ray studies.

5. Alpha lipoic acid. This is a close second to glutathione in importance in our cells and is involved in energy production, blood sugar control, brain health and detoxification. The body usually makes it, but given all the stresses we are under, we often become depleted.

6. Methylation nutrients (folate and vitamins B6 and B12). These are perhaps the most critical to keep the body producing glutathione. Methylation and the production and recycling of glutathione are the two most important biochemical functions in your body. Take folate (especially in the active form of 5 methyltetrahydrofolate), B6 (in active form of P5P) and B12 (in the active form of methylcobalamin).

7. Selenium. This important mineral helps the body recycle and produce more glutathione.

8. A family of antioxidants including vitamins C and E (in the form of mixed tocopherols), work together to recycle glutathione.

9. Milk thistle (silymarin) has long been used in liver disease and helps boost glutathione levels.

They fulfill the basic foundations of well-being like vitamins and minerals whilst also optimizing those micronutrients and providing the fuel for growth, health, good functioning of the body and genetic transcription. If I were to go into a rant about amino acids and their many functions I could easily fill a book.

WHAT ARE AMINO ACIDS?

Well, amino acids in food make up protein. When protein is digested it is once again broken down into specific amino acids, that are then selectively put together for different uses. These new proteins formed in the body are what make up most solid matter in the body: skin, eyes, heart, intestines, bones and, of course, muscle.

That's why understanding what each of these aminos can do and getting more of them in your diet can be very beneficial to reaching specific goals, such as muscle building. Of course, one mustn't exaggerate, because a good protein balance is what provides health and stability, without it any of the amino acids can become toxic.

An issue that has been brought up in the case of phenylalanine, but holds true for all amino acids. To counter potential harmful effects, getting enough vitamins and minerals is important because they insure proper conversion of protein to amino and vice versa.

Depending on who you talk to, there are around 20 to 22 standard amino acids. Of those 20-22, 8 to 10 of them are considered essential, which means that you need to get a certain amount of them in your diet to function properly - our bodies cannot synthesize them from other materials, so we only get them from food.

Since aminos are the building blocks of protein, I'm sure you get plenty of all of them, but this article will show you the benefits of supplementing with extra free form amino acids, going in to deep detail of what too much or too little of several of them can do, what they do in the body and how much and when you should use them.

Next to the 8 essential amino acids, there are around 14 non-essential amino acids and a whole host of other metabolites classed as amino acids which are derived from the 8 essential ones. Next to the 8 essential aminos, I will try to discuss a number of them that have made the headlines recently: L-Glutamine, L-Arginine, L-Carnitine, L-Cysteine, and HMB.THE 8 ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDSUnderstanding the essentials and trying to optimize them in your diet should be basic knowledge for any bodybuilder.

A complete spectrum of amino acids and optimum health can only be brought forth by gearing your protein intake to these 8 aminos. So even if you aren't even considering supplementing with free forms, at least peruse these next 8 paragraphs and learn.HISTIDINEIn the human body, histidine is needed for the growth and repair of tissue of all kind. It plays a key role in the maintenance and manufacture of glial nerve cells called oligo-dendrocytes which wrap themselves around your nerves to form a protective sheath called myelin.

This prevents unintended impulses that can obviously lead to serious defects in the brain and spinal cord. As if it didn't have enough work, histidine is also a manufacturer of both red and white blood cells.

It also helps in radiation protection and removing excess heavy metals (such as iron) from the body. In the stomach, it produces gastric juices that may speed up and improve digestion, so it's a helpful tool in fighting indigestion and gastro-intestinal disorders.

It is a precursor to the non-essential amino acid histamine, which is released by the immune system as a response to allergic reactions. It has also been linked in recent studies to longer orgasms and better sexual enjoyment for those of you who are having a little trouble in that area...

BODYBUILDER SUMMARYUse To Bodybuilders: Minimal, only in improving digestionDosage: Minimum of 1000 mg daily, but the recommendation is 8-10 mg a day per kilogram of bodyweight. Chances are you get at least two or three times that in your diet.Overdosing: Too much histidine may lead to stress and the aggravation of mental disorders such as anxiety and schizophrenia.Medical Uses: Used in the treating of arthritis and nerve deafness.Sources: Found in dairy, meat, poultry, fish as well as rice, wheat and rye.Deficiency: Unknown.

Sources: Dairy, meat, fish, rice, wheat, and ryeUSES: IMPROVED DIGESTION — SOURCES: DAIRY, MEAT, FISH, RICE, WHEAT, AND RYELYSINEL-Lysine is one of the aminos that is of utmost importance to growth and development. It is used in the body for calcium absorption, which results in bone and muscle growth as well as fat mobilization for energy uses.

It maintains the nitrogen balance and helps to maintain lean body mass in periods of extreme stress and fatigue. It is also needed to produce antibodies, hormones (GH, testosterone, insulin, you name it), enzymes, collagen and to repair damaged tissue, much like histidine and most of the essential amino acids.

Next to maintaining it, it also helps to build new muscle protein. And the cardiovascular benefits include the maintenance of healthy blood vessels.

BODYBUILDER SUMMARYUse To Bodybuilders: Next to the maintenance and manufacture of muscle protein, Lysine plays a role in revitalizing the body to combat fatigue and overtraining and it maintains a positive nitrogen balance, creating an anabolic environment within the body.Dosage: Normal recommendation is 12 mg per kilo of bodyweight, but daily intake exceeds that, and even when taking in 1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight, a couple of extra mg won't hurt. It's a priority amino acid to the athlete. but beware of overdosing.Overdosing: Could result in higher LDL cholesterol, diarrhea and gallstones.Medical Uses:Treating of cold sores and lack of energy.Sources: Cheese, eggs, milk, meat, yeast, potatoes and lima beans.Deficiency: May lead to enzyme disorders, lack of energy, hair loss (common for protein shortage), weight loss, no appetite and loss of concentration.

USES: COMBATS FATIGUE AND OVERTRAINING — SOURCES: CHEESE, EGGS, MILK, MEAT, YEAST, POTATOES, AND LIMA BEANSPHENYLALANINEPhenylalanine is, or rather was, a hot topic. Some people seem to react rather badly to it, and a lot of heck was raised about it being used in products. Things have calmed down and studies have shown that there is no harm in it for healthy people.

It elevates the mood by stimulating the nerve system, and may be important to staying motivated for whatever reason. It aids memory and together with its derivative, glutamine, is considered a smart-vitamin (though they aren't vitamins).

It increases levels of epinephrine, nor-epinephrine, and dopamine in the anterior pituitary. All three are important neurotransmitters needed for optimum operation of the nerve system. It also helps the absorption of UV rays in sunlight, which in turn gives a higher rate of Vitamin D, a strong body hormone.

Its main metabolite is tyrosine which increases levels of dopamine and nor-epinephrine, as stated above. It's also one of the manufacturers of glutamine, the amino acid that makes up the largest part of the amino acid pool.

Phenylalanine often gets a bad wrap in the press. It is used as a non-carbohydrate sweetener in many soft drinks (combined with aspartic acid, as aspartame) and made headlines recently when some claimed it was hazardous to the brain, and then later it was linked to carcinogenic risk.

Toxic levels of phenylalanine can indeed be lethal, but trust me, so can anything else. If I put a gun to your head and made you drink twenty gallons of purified water, you'd be dead too. And that's water. Imagine what vitamins or minerals could do?

Yet somehow I doubt anyone feels vitamins are an evil poison, put on earth to kill you. Well, neither is phenylalanine. It's an essential amino acid, and most nutritionists will tell you that you are more likely to be deficient than run the risk of overdosing.

Toxic doses exceed 3 to 4 times the amount you would get on average from a diet containing 250-300 grams of protein daily. So that extra diet Coke won't kill you.

BODYBUILDER SUMMARY

Use To Bodybuilders: Apart from motivation and extra Vitamin D, Phenylalanine is of the use because of the nerve upgrading which will allow for maximal contraction and relaxation of the muscles. The DL-form is often supplemented as an endurance enhancer. Because of the toxicity level, this is never done long-term. Dosage: Recommendation is 14 mg per kilo of bodyweight. You'll be getting more than that no doubt, and I see no need to increase that. Especially with the potential side-effects. Overdosing: This is not a wise supplement to be taking by pregnant women and diabetics. It results in higher blood pressure, headaches, nausea, heart trouble and nerve damage. Medical Uses: For treatment of arthritis and depression. Sources: All dairy products, almonds, avocados, nuts, and seeds. Deficiency: Its rare, but if it occurs it leads to weakness, lethargy, liver damage and stunted growth.

USES: ALLOWS MAXIMAL MUSCLE CONTRACTION AND RELAXATION — SOURCES: DAIRY, ALMONDS, AVOCADOS, NUTS, AND SEEDSMETHIONINEI'll no doubt refer to the subject again when we discuss ZMA in a future article, but methionine assists in the breakdown and use of fats, which in turn yields a higher testosterone rate.

Together with zinc, that's how ZMA does its thing. It also eliminates excess fat from the bloodstream, resulting in less potential adipose (fat) tissue. It is key in digestion and the removal of heavy metals from the stomach and liver. It is a good anti-oxidant because it readily supplies sulfur, inactivates free radicals and helps with memory recall.

It is a precursor to cysteine, which is the amino that produces glutathione to detoxify the liver. It's also one of the three aminos that are needed to manufacture creatine monohydrate within the body, an essential compound for energy production and muscle growth.

BODYBUILDER SUMMARYUse To Bodybuilders: Fat metabolization, better digestion and anti-oxidizing properties make this a valuable compound. Dosage: 12 mg per kilo of bodyweight. If you think it may be a good idea to supplement this, you may as well invest in some ZMA. The supplement is cost-effective and yields higher results than just Methionine. Overdosing: None, except in case of a shortage of B-Vitamins, in which case you are an easy target for arteriosclerosis. Medical Uses: Used to treat depression, arthritis and liver disease. Sources: Meat, fish, beans, eggs, garlic, lentils, onions, yogurt and seeds. Deficiency: Causes dementia, fatty liver, slow growth, weakness, skin lesions and edema.

USES: FAT METABOLIZATION — SOURCES: MEAT, FISH, BEANS, EGGS, GARLIC, LENTILS, ONIONS, YOGURT , AND SEEDSBCAASBranched Chain Amino Acids are held in high regard in bodybuilding circles and justly so. They are the three most important amino acids in the manufacture, maintenance and repair of muscle-tissue. All three exert a strong synergistic effect.

Using just Valine or Iso-leucine does little as far as anabolics is concerned but both, when dosed in the right amounts, enhance the effect of the all-important Leucine. As with certain other supplements, the relative dose is more important than the overall dose.

It is believed that a 2-1-2 equilibrium in Leucine/Iso-leucine/Valine dosing yields the best results. The dosages listed are the FDA recommendations for taking the individual BCAA's. BCAAs are used medically to treat headaches, dizziness, fatigue, depression and irritability as a result of protein deficiency.

BCAAs are always best used together. A little useful stack advice: BCAAs stack well with B-complex vitamins.

LEUCINELeucine, the strongest of the BCAAs, is responsible for the regulation of blood-sugar levels, the growth and repair of tissues in skin, bones and of course skeletal muscle.

It's a strong potentiator to Human Growth Hormone (HGH). It helps in healing wounds, regulating energy, and assists in the preventing the breakdown of muscle tissue.

BODYBUILDER SUMMARYUse To Bodybuilders: Leucine may be one of the strongest natural anabolic agents in the world. It will not give you amazing results, however, simply because you are already taking in quite large amounts of it.Dosage: 16 mg per kilo of bodyweight. Overdosing: Unknown, may increase ammonia. Medical Uses: Prevention of muscle-wasting in states of deprivation. Sources: Found in nearly all protein sources, including brown rice, beans, nuts, and whole wheat. Deficiency: Unknown.

USES: NATURAL ANABOLIC AGENT — SOURCES: ALL PROTEIN SOURCES INCLUDING BROWN RICE, BEANS, NUTS, AND WHOLE WHEATISOLEUCINEVery similar to leucine in most every way. Isoleucine promotes muscle recovery, regulates the blood-sugar levels and stimulates HGH release. But isoleucine holds its own in terms of wound healing.

It helps in the formation of hemoglobin and is strongly involved in the formation of blood-clots, the body's primary defense against infection through open wounds.

BODYBUILDER SUMMARYUse To Bodybuilders: Of similar importance as leucine, Very important as part of the BCAA stack. Dosage: 10-12 mg per kilo of bodyweight. Overdosing: Causes elevated urination. No serious problems. May become serious if you have kidney or liver disease. Medical Uses: Wound healing. Sources: Chicken, cashews, fish, almonds, eggs, lentils, liver, meat. Deficiency: Unknown.

PROMOTES MUSCLE RECOVERY — SOURCES: CHICKEN, CASHEWS, FISH, ALMONDS, EGGS, LENTILS, LIVER, AND MEATVALINEValine helps the repair and growth of muscle tissue, as commonly attributed to BCAAs. It maintains the nitrogen balance and preserves the use of glucose.

BODYBUILDER SUMMARYUse To Bodybuilders: In combination with Isoleucine and Leucine. Dosage: 16 mg per kilo of bodyweight. Overdosing: Crawling sensation in the skin is common, hallucination, may be hazardous to people with kidney and liver disease. Medical Uses: None, not separately. Sources: Dairy, meat, grain, mushrooms, soy, peanuts. Deficiency: Leads to MSUD.

USES: PROMOTES REPAIR AND GROWTH OF MUSCLE TISSUE — SOURCES: DAIRY, MEAT, MUSHROOMS, SOY, AND PEANUTSTHREONINEAn essential amino acid that is not manufactured within the body, ever. Since its main sources are animal (dairy and meat) this doesn't bode well to vegans. It's found in heart, skeletal muscle and nerve tissue in the central nervous system.

Threonine (reminds me of that chick on "Star Trek: Voyager") is used to form the body's two most important binding substances, collagen and elastin. It is also essential to maintain proper protein balance.

Threonine is involved in liver functioning, lipotropic functions (when combined with aspartic acid and methionine) and in the maintenance of the immune system by helping in the production of antibodies and promoting growth and activity of the thymus.

But perhaps its most useful property of all is that it allows better absorption of other nutrients, so protein sources containing threonine are more bio-available than others.

BODYBUILDER SUMMARYUse To Bodybuilders: Absorption of protein, maintenance of muscle and important to good health. Dosage: 8 mg per kilo of bodyweight, generally advised in amounts of 100-500 mg when supplemented. Overdosing: Not known. Medical Uses: Treatment for mental health. Sources: Meat, dairy, and eggs. Deficiency: Irritability and being difficult, nothing severe. Less immunity against disease.

USES: ABSORPTION OF PROTEIN — SOURCES: MEAT, DAIRY, AND EGGSTHE MOST IMPORTANT NON-ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDSThe above information is knowledge that will empower you to understand why you need protein, but apart from BCAAs I know few people that take extra essential amino acids, simply because every bodybuilder with half a brain is already taking in at least ten to twenty times the recommended FDA doses, in some cases as much as 40 times.

But non-essential amino acids are produced only as the body needs them, and are not as omni-present in food as the essential ones are. So while we have more than enough non-essential amino acids, in some circumstances taking in extra free form versions may be beneficial.

Especially in circumstances where for one reason or another the body's reserve is in danger of being absorbed for less useful purposes. They are temporary solutions to temporary problems. But some would have you believe, vested interests can pay off big-time, that you should be taking them all the time.

Glutamine being case in point. Weider is the biggest distributor of free form L-Glutamine and FLEX magazine recommends you take in massive amounts of the stuff even when you don't need it. That Weider owns FLEX hasn't dawned on anyone yet apparently. But this goes for all non-essential amino acids. Here are the most popular ones.

GLUTAMINEL-Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid that is present in the body in large amounts. At some times it forms 60 percent of your total amino acid pool. Because it passes through the blood-brain barrier rather easily it's often called brain-food.

It may aid memory recall and concentration. In the brain it converts to glutamic acid, which is essential for brain functioning and increase GABA (gamma-amino-butyric-acid, another popular supplemented amino) needed or mental activities. It is used in synthesis of muscle-tissue.

We all know we need nitrogen to get big, but too much nitrogen in the body could cause ammonia in the brain. Glutamine helps to get rid of it by attaching itself to the nitrogen and forming glutamic acid, then escorts it out of the body. Glutamine is also one of the main building blocks in the genetic coding.

It is found in several strands of DNA and RNA, more than other amino's. And most important perhaps is that it balances the acid/alkaline level, so it reduces lactic acid.

It decreases the cravings for sweets which can be of use on a diet, and a metabolite of glutamine called Monosodium Glutamine (MSG), a salt, is used as a flavor enhancer. It has no real flavor of its own, but it can enhance the flavor of other products such as meat, fish and vegetables.

Glutamine has the downside of being more readily used as fuel for energy than some simple carbs. It is one of the preferred fuels of the intestines for example and a good source of energy throughout the body. So chances are more glutamine will not even be used for what you supplement it for. The body just doesn't use what it already has.

So, is glutamine a bad supplement? No. It's one of the best supplements currently on the market, but there is no way in hell you need to supplement with L-glutamine in a bulking phase. You should have plenty.

I asked some sources who could know (and don't have a vested interest in the stuff) and they said, and I quote: "In the presence of good health, supplementation is not necessary." That, my friends, is fact.

No company, other than commercial supplement companies, carry a glutamine product. But we all know they'll produce anything if they smell money, just look at vanadyl.

So, why bother? Well, In a dieting phase you will be lowering your carbs, and if you are cutting up for competition your carb intake will be so low you are in danger of using hard earned muscle-protein as fuel for your body. And what did I say is the preferred fuel of most tissues: glutamine.

So supplementing with extra Glutamine makes sense if you want to spare that hard-earned muscle. In fact in this instance it becomes necessary. I use the stuff myself. 15-25 grams can be supplemented and burned without touching the rest of the body's amino acid supply.

Some people suggest using 2 doses, but I can tell you as a competitor that you will get more benefit by using more. I prefer 5 doses of 5-7 grams, but that is a personal opinion, not a guideline. Keep in mind that it is expensive.

This is a supplement paradox: it is absolutely useless and a waste of money one moment, but a critical tool in success the next. Never dismiss the power of glutamine, despite the bad wrap I gave it. It can be worth your buck.

I just think it's more important to convince you of its overuse than of its merits, there are enough companies that will sell you on that.

BODYBUILDER SUMMARYUse To Bodybuilders: The preservation of muscle mass and the supplying of an alternate energy source in glucose deprivated conditions (diets and such). Dosage: Don't go overboard. 5-10 grams can illicit an effect, but bodybuilders on low-carb diets for shows could go as high as 30-35. Overdosing: Only dangerous in people with liver or kidney trouble. Medical Uses: Sources: Large amounts in all high-protein foods. Deficiency : Unknown, glutamine is the most manufactured protein in the body.

USES: ALTERNATE ENERGY SOURCE DURING DIETING PHASE — SOURCES: LARGE AMOUNTS IN ALL HIGH-PROTEIN FOODSARGININELately, L-Arginine is the hottest amino topic around, for the moment. Arginine is added to many supplements for its amazing nitrogen retention ability. Nitrogen as you are all aware is one of the key elements in muscle protein synthesis.

Some plants can absorb nitrogen, but we mammals have to make do with the stuff we make ourselves. Arginine is mostly present in protanines and histones, two proteins commonly associated with nucleic acids (like DNA and RNA). So far, its main use was for newborns to excite new growth, because at a young age its difficult to manufacture enough.

It enhances the immune system, and stimulates the size and activity of the thymus gland (responsible for the famous "T-cells"), which makes it a prime choice for anyone in a condition that is less than optimal for health, such as people recovering from injury and HIV patients.

The hormonal release properties include releasing insulin from the pancreas and a massive stimulator in the manufacture of GH from the anterior pituitary. But for GH, the metabolite arginine pyroglutamate because it passes the brain-blood barrier more easily.

It is often linked to sexual stimulus, with the notion that it may lengthen and improve orgasms. It is found in seminal fluid and was often used in studies to enhance the male sexual health and put forward as a cure for sterility.

So very useful in this day and age of environmental estrogens and not to be overlooked by steroid-users looking for a post-cycle boost. It also improves the health of the liver, skin and connective tissues and may lower cholesterol.

But mostly it facilitates muscle mass gain while limiting fat storage, because it keeps fat alive in the system and uses it. It's key in weight control.

BODYBUILDER SUMMARYUse To Bodybuilders: Too many to name. If you read the above, I'm sure you'll realize that. Dosage: No recommended dosage. I'm not even sure if anyone produces free-form arginine, but if you have two equal products and one contains more arginine, the choice should be simple. To supplement in large doses may lead to side effects, but getting protein powders and weight-gainers enriched with extra arginine makes sense. Overdosing: Skin thickening and coarsening, weakness, diarrhea, nausea and loss of immunity to viruses. So it is not a smart idea for people with viral diseases. Medical Uses: Treatment of sexual impairment, and often prescribed against high levels of cholesterol. Sources: Whole-wheat, nuts and seeds, rice, chocolate, raisins, soy. Deficiency: Impaired insulin production, hair loss. But hardly ever occurs in healthy people. Precaution: Do not stack arginine with lysine because they compete for absorption.

USES: FACILITATES MUSCLE MASS GAIN AND LIMITS FAT STORAGE — SOURCES: WHOLE WHEAT, NUTS, SEEDS, RICE, CHOCOLATE, RAISINS, AND SOYCARNITINEAs amino acids go, carnitine is quite the popular fellow. But the truth is, it's not really an amino acid at all! It's only classed as such because of a structural likeness.

It's more commonly known as "Vitamin BT". Carnitine actually comes in four forms: D-carnitine, DL-carnitine, L-carnitine and Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC). Only the last two could be of actual use to bodybuilders.

When there is enough Thiamin (Vitamin B1) and pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) in circulation, it can trigger methionine and lysine to manufacture carnitine. Unlike the majority of amino's, and this is the reason why we consume as much protein as we do, it is not involved in protein synthesis.

Instead it is used for transport of long-chain fatty acids. It is nescessary for these fatty acids to enter and be removed from the inside of a cell, and also removes short-chain organic acids from the mitochondria in order to free mitochondrial coenzyme.

These characteristics have given it enormous media-attention in bodybuilding circles because optimal use of carnitine might lead to a decrease in body-fat percentage and more energy.

For health reasons, carnitine may also be beneficial to prevent fatty acid buildup within the heart, liver and muscle. Carnitine is a good idea in any case because it improves the anti-oxidizing effect of Vitamins C and E.

Carnitine is the only non-essential amino acid that should be considered for long-term use. For people needing to stay lean year long, it could be a very helpful tool. But here, too, I see no need to use it on a permanent basis, since a lot of it is present in protein-dense foods.

For competitive bodybuilders I would only suggest use when dieting, since the leaning out effect may impair the anabolic environment and consequently muscle-growth, but for those of you making a living as a model or a guest poser, carnitine could be your number one supplement for keeping lean year round.

For those of you supplementing carnitine, it is wise not to follow standard guidelines, but to calculate intake according to lean bodyweight.

BODYBUILDER SUMMARYUse To Bodybuilders: Increase of ATP, better synthetic reception of glucocorticoids and the minimizing of fat buildup around the muscle. Dosage: Ranging from 20-200 mg seems to be the best choice.A need for carnitine is calculated according to muscle weight, so more muscle equals a higher need for carnitine. Overdosing: Doses exceeding 3000 mg have been known to cause diarrhea and fish odor syndrome. Medical Uses: Reducing the risk of poor fat metabolism in diabetics. Sources: Fish, chicken, red meat and milk. Not found in vegetables. Deficiency: Only in people with a carnitine transport-defect.

USES: INCREASE OF ATP — SOURCES: FISH, CHICKEN, RED MEAT, AND MILKCYSTEINEL-Cysteine is a sulfur-containing non-essential amino acid, making it a veritable favorite as an anti-oxidant. It's closely related to Cystine, which basically consists of 2 Cysteine molecules bonded together.

Cysteine is very unstable and almost immediately converts to Cystine when it gets the chance. Its not a true problem, because if the body needs it, it can easily convert it back to Cysteine. Its required for healthy skin, detoxification of the body (due to the sulfur-content) and the production of collagen (used for skin elasticity and texture).

That is why it is found most often in beta-keratin. (Keratin molecules are the things that make up hair, nails and such, and provide you with healthy skin. Keratin is a protein often formed and stored in skin tissue.)

Here is where cysteine proves its use as a vital component of life. It is the manufacturer of taurine, which is a component of glutathione. Glutathione in turn protects the brain and liver from damage by way of drugs, alcohol and other substances the body considers harmful.

Taurine is now found in many creatine products, but to what effect, no one seems to be able to tell me. Probably to get the most out of Lipoic acid, though I fail to see how it could be really useful even in that way.

It strengthens the protective lining of the stomach and intestines to prevent damage by products that are not wanted in the body (Which is why it is hard to get the most out of pills and medicine). But it does qualify as a very good liver protector.

Moreover, cysteine is critical to the metabolism of other very useful things to the bodybuilder, including coenzyme A, heparin, biotin (B-vitamin), and the praised alpha lipoic acid. It's manufactured from methionine.

BODYBUILDER SUMMARYUse To Bodybuilders: Metabolizer of B-vitamins, detoxification of damage due to other supplements, and potentiating insulin. Dosage: 200-300 mg, two to three times daily. Overdosing: Only possible in diabetics. Medical Uses: Liver-protecting and easing of debilitating diseases. Sources: Poultry, wheat, broccoli, eggs, garlic, onion, and peppers. Deficiency: Unknown.

USES: METABOLIZER OF B-VITAMINS — SOURCES: POULTRY, WHEAT, BROCCOLI, EGGS, GARLIC, ONION, AND PEPPERSHMBBeta-Hydroxy Beta-Methyl Butyrate (HMB) is a made from the essential branched chain amino acid leucine to carry out more specifically some of its functions.

HMB plays a role in muscle synthesis by increasing the rate of protein being used, leading to less fat storage of such molecules and contributing to the maintenance of muscle mass.

The more protein is being effectively used, the more muscle-protein you save from being used as an alternate fuel source in glucose-deprived states.

Not only does it improve the use of free amino acids in the body, it also prevents the use of engaged amino acids by minimizing protein breakdown. By maintaining the integrity and strength of the cell lining (membrane) it doesn't allow the protein stored in the cell to be used for alternate means.

In the body, it is said we can produce up to 1 gram daily. So naturally for those looking to supplement, significantly higher doses will be needed. I have my own feelings about HMB supplementation. I must say the first time I used it, I thought it was a waste of money.

Since then more research has shown that HMB is a worthy supplement, but at the doses needed to exert serious effects is way too costly. Prices for quality HMB have gone down, but at the current cost for isolating amino acids I have no idea if they will ever be cost-effective.

In a dieting stage HMB could be a lifesaver. By protecting the muscle protein, metabolizing fat and increasing the use of free aminos as energy it may help you reach your goals sooner. But the same can be said about carnitine and glutamine.

The decision lies with you on what you want to spend your money on. But unless you have high hopes of winning some kind of prize, I don't think your wallet will appreciate you taking them all along with your fat-burner.

If HMB is your thing, however, consider the doses. For maximum benefit, HMB should be taken over as many servings as possible. 6 are good, 8 are better and so on, but if you are the forgetful type, 3 servings will do.

Total intake for a training day, when on a diet (I wouldn't recommend HMB as a good supplement in another situation), should be 4.5 to 6 grams depending on sex and age, and on non-training days 2.5 to 3 should serve you well.

Maintain use on non-training days because muscle wasting is an arduous process that doesn't take your schedule in to account. Again increase the dosage with lean body-weight.

BODYBUILDER SUMMARYUse To Bodybuilders: Prevents muscle loss and fat storage in times of glucose-deprivation. Dosage: 2.5 to 6 grams daily. Overdosing: Unknown, so far no one could afford and overdose. Medical Uses: None. Sources: Present in many foods in trace amounts. Largest amounts found in catfish, grapefruit, and alfalfa. Deficiency: Only in case of leucine shortage, unknown.

At first the numbers may seem random, but it is in fact a linear scale. So, if you determine that you are a skin type II and burn in 30 minutes at a UV index of 6, then you will likely burn in 15 minutes at a UV index of 12.

The UV index is one of the three key factors for managing your sun exposure. You need to know your skin type, which determines your reaction to sun, the UV index, how strong the sun is, and then determine the proper duration to give you a minimal erythemal dose of UV exposure to produce vitamin D and other healthy properties - including nitric oxide - without burning. You just want to get a *smidge* pink the next day.

One of the easiest ways to know the UV index wherever you are is to download the free dminder app on your phone!

Last week there was an article which summarized Richard Weller's position on sunlight - that it is necessary. One of the quotes was that in the UK "deaths from heart disease are a hundred times higher than deaths from skin cancer."

I decided to see if it is true for the US as it is a great statistic to use in our work. Here's what I found using American Cancer Society (ACS) and American Heart Association (AHA) data:787,000 people die from cardiovascular disease each year in the US. This includes 375,000 from heart disease and other deaths from cerebrovascular disease. (Source: AHA)10,130 people die from melanoma and 2,000 die from basal or squamous cell skin cancer each year in the US. Sum = 12,130. (Source: ACS)The ratio is 787,000/12,130 = 65. Not quite as high as the 100 that Weller mentioned for the UK, but it still means that skin cancer deaths are only 1.5% of cardiovascular disease deaths, so why not focus on the 98.5% of the total of these, rather than the 1.5%? A ratio of 65 deaths from all cardiovascular disease events combined is still extremely more deaths than those attributed to skin cancer.Since we know that vitamin D from the sun or elsewhere will prevent approximately 80% of cancer (Lappe et al., 2007), we could include cancer deaths in addition to cardiovascular deaths. 582,870 Americans die of cancer other than of melanoma or other skin each year (ACS, 2016 projection).Multiply that by 80% preventable and you get 582,870 X 80% = 466,295 preventable deaths from cancer due to vitamin D deficiency. The ratio is 466,295/12,130 = 38. It's amazing that we are losing 466,295 people to cancer each year due to vitamin D deficiency and no one besides us cares.If we add all cardiovascular deaths and deaths from non-skin cancer, we get 787,000 + 582,870 = 1,369,870 deaths. The ratio of this figure to skin cancer deaths is 1,369,870/12,130 = 113.So we in the USA have 113 times the number of deaths from cardiovascular disease and non-skin cancer compared to deaths from skin cancer. As a nation, we really do have to quit being so preoccupied with trying to prevent skin cancer. It's costing us thousands of lives each year.Know The Truth!

]]>2016-04-09T00:27:56+01:002016-04-09T00:27:56+01:00http://www.jetsunsunbeds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=199&p=275#p275It’s October and the pink frenzy for Breast Cancer Awareness has officially begun. But do you really need any more awareness? What have all the pink campaigns accomplished? Have lives really been saved? Have scientists or anyone else in the mainstream for that matter, gotten any closer to finding a “cure” for breast cancer? Or could it be that it’s just a big scam to frighten more women into getting more diagnostic tests and surgical procedures?

This article aims to help you clearly see through the pretty pink façade. You will discover why even long-time supporters of the largest breast cancer charity, Susan G. Komen (also known as Komen), have recently done a 180 degree turn. From misleading marketing claims, to repulsive corporate partnerships, to blatant conflicts of interest, the truth about Komen is being exposed.

Educated people who have learned the truth have stopped blindly supporting Komen as it has become crystal clear about their deceptive marketing tactics and questionable use of funds. In just the last few years, revenues for Komen have sharply dropped. Many intelligent women (and men) who once proudly raised money to “race for a cure” have begun to recognize “pinkwashing” for what it is.

What is “Pinkwashing?”

Breast Cancer Action, a nonprofit organization known as “the watchdog of the breast cancer industry” coined the term “pinkwashing.” It happens when a company or organization claims to care about breast cancer by promoting pink ribbon products, while at the same time produces, manufactures and/or sells products that are linked to the disease. Pinkwashing is when “cause marketing” loses sight of “the cause” and is more about the bottom line – profits.

One of the best examples of pinkwashing was Kentucky Fried Chicken’s “Buckets for the Cure” campaign. For every pink bucket of fried chicken sold, KFC donated 50 cents to Komen. Fast food and especially fried food are a well-known cause of many diseases, including cancer. You gotta wonder…who at Komen approved this joint venture and whose interest do they really have in mind?

More Red Flags, Conflicts of Interest, and Fundraising Fraud

In 2011, Komen created a perfume called “Promise Me.” It contained unsafe chemicals that were deemed toxic and hazardous with negative health effects. The ingredients included galaxolide, an endocrine disruptor, touluene, a possible carcinogen and toxic to the liver, and coumarin, which is toxic to the liver and kidneys and used to kill rodents.

In 2012, Komen partnered with the Coca Cola Company promoting FUZE tea. With 31 grams of sugar, high fructose corn syrup (likely genetically modified), sucralose, and preservatives. Is this a beverage that should be promoted alongside claims to be researching for “the cure” for breast cancer?

In 2013, Yoplait (the yogurt company) held a campaign called “Save Lids to Save Lives.” They donated 10 cents per lid with a special code which consumers could redeem. Yet hormone-laden dairy, sugar, and artificial chemicals have all been linked to cancer.

How can an organization that claims to be focused on preventing and curing breast cancer partner with companies that sell highly processed fast food, junk food, artificial food, hormone-filled dairy products, and sugar/chemical-laden food and beverages that have had a strong correlation with contributing to cancer? Many of these “pseudo foods” and products are known contributors to cancer causation or progression. Do you think these partnerships are actually contributing to a cure or are they really creating more customers for the cancer industry?

Komen Downplays Well Known Hazards of Environmental Toxins and Chemicals

Komen’s website seems to also have the gall to downplay or even deny any possible breast cancer link between well-known and obvious environmental toxins. This includes BPA – an endocrine disruptor that mimics estrogen, found in products such as plastics, liners of canned food and even toilet paper; phthalates – another hormone disruptor found in personal care and cleaning products; and parabens – a preservative found in cosmetics that acts like a weak estrogen. All of these chemicals increase the risk for hormone-driven cancers. Watchdogs have pointed out that Komen receives generous donations from companies who use BPA in their products (Coca-Cola, General Mills, 3M, to name a few).

Komen also supports fracking for gas and oil. Fracking is a process which entails mixing water with chemicals, such as the carcinogens formaldehyde and benzene, and pumping the mixture underground to breakup rock formations, thus polluting groundwater. Komen even went so far as to promote pink drill bits to be used for fracking.

Are Komen’s Messages about Mammograms Misleading?

Not only does Komen partner with products and companies that contribute to cancer, they have exaggerated the benefits of mammograms with catchy slogans such as “early detection saves lives.” Women have been bombarded with this message for far too many years. Few people questioned the almighty annual mammogram. It was always heavily promoted as the “gold standard” for early detection and women who did not get a mammogram were equated with being irresponsible.

Unfortunately, numerous studies have shown that mammography has not lived up to its hope and promise. The reality is that mammograms only save one life in 2,000 while they harm 8-10 women through false alarms, missed cancers, and unnecessary surgery, radiation, drugs, stress, and anxiety!

“Over-diagnosis” (red flagging cancers that would have been eliminated by the body through natural processes, never to become problematic) has become rampant since the widespread use of mammography. Millions of women have now been found to have had needless “cancer” treatments and many have died because of these. Further, while more “cancers” are being found at an early stage, studies have shown no reduction in the number of women dying of breast cancer in the last 30 years.

Breast cancer experts, major newspapers, and long-time proponents of mammography are now either questioning it or speaking out against annual screening programs stating they are doing more harm than good. Yet, despite all the studies and expert warnings, Komen continues on with the same message proclaiming “early detection saves lives”, urging women to get mammograms. The Komen website states, “Despite some ongoing debate, mammography is still the most effective screening tool used today for the early detection of breast cancer.”

Suspicious Ties to Drug Companies and Mammography Machine Makers

The pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca is the maker of the drug tamoxifen. According to “Pink Ribbon Culture,” AstraZeneca gave $97,000 to Komen affiliates in 2008. They have been known to have a very large presence at Komen “race for the cure” events and they have been a major force in Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Incidentally, tamoxifen is listed as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization as it increases the risk of uterine and other cancers. Komen promotes the use of tamoxifen.

General Electric (GE), one of the largest makers of mammogram machines, is listed on Komen’s website as a “Promise Circle” Partner – donating the highest amount – $1 million plus annually. In 2012, Komen and GE partnered to bring free mammograms to women in rural areas as well as uninsured women through a mobile mammography van called a “Mammovan.”

Pink-Infused Profits – Where Does All the Money Go?

A quick check of Komen’s tax returns posted on Charity Navigator (a service that evaluates and rates public charities for accountability and transparency) may come as a shock. Founder and CEO Nancy Brinker’s salary was $560,896 in 2013. And in 2012, Komen’s President was paid $606,461.

With a multi-million dollar budget and high profile PR campaigns, Komen has been immensely successful at engaging millions of women to sign up for their annual “races for the cure.” In order to participate in Komen’s popular “three day walk” events, each participant must personally raise over $2,000 for Komen.

Charity Navigator reports that Komen’s annual revenue is well over $200 million. Besides enormous executive salaries, a large percent of this money goes to “education” and “awareness” campaigns. This awareness then leads to fueling the push for more mammograms.

The Missing Truth About Breast Cancer Prevention

In all of Komen’s campaigns, where is the information about the root causes of cancer (such as environmental toxins) and risk reduction or prevention through nutrition and lifestyle? Instead of promoting and offering free mammograms to underserved and low-income women, maybe Komen could give a sliver of attention and funding directly to women for free naturopathic health-care, organic food, stress reduction, nutritional counselling, immune system building, and healthy cooking classes. The problem is these known breast cancer risk-reducers are missing one key element – profitability for Komen! And so the status quo continues and pinkwashing will prevail, unless you help us spread the word far and wide.

What You Can Do About Pinkwashing

Breast Cancer Action created a campaign called “Think Before You Pink.” They have a link on their website with “Critical Questions to Ask Before You Buy Pink.” They also created an excellent brochure entitled “Should I Get a Mammogram?”

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) is a far better charitable organization to support if you are interested in the important cause of reducing and eliminating breast cancer. EWG researches products for toxins and pesticides so that consumers can be empowered to make healthy and safe choices with food, cosmetics, cleaning products, and more. Women can also join the “Proactive Breast Health Club” and stay informed with periodic articles on safe screening, anti-cancer nutrition, and other lifestyle strategies specifically to reduce the risk of breast cancer. know The Truth!
